2026 Duck Race
Our inaugural Marshalltown Area United Way Rubber Duck Race was a splash! Held on May 16, the event brought the community together for an afternoon of fun, excitement, and friendly competition on Linn Creek.
We were thrilled to sell out all 557 ducks and raise more than $2,100 to support our 25 nonprofit partner agencies serving the Marshalltown area. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who adopted a duck, volunteered, sponsored the event, or helped make our first Duck Race possible.
