The Great Annual Estes Park Duck Race

Support BTWC in the 37th Annual Estes Park Rotary Duck Race Festival!

The Estes Park Rotary Duck Race Festival returns on Saturday, May 3 from 11am-5pm downtown Estes Park, and Big Thompson Watershed Coalition is excited to once again be a part of this fun, family-friendly event that supports many non-profits and charities.

Hosted each year by the Estes Park Rotary Club, the Duck Race is a unique opportunity to support local nonprofits like BTWC while also entering for a chance to win amazing prizes—from cash and gift cards to exciting travel packages and local experiences.

When you adopt a duck (don’t worry—they’re rubber, not real) and select Big Thompson Watershed Coalition as your charity of choice, $23 of every $25 adoption goes directly toward our work restoring rivers, improving forest health, and protecting the Big Thompson watershed for people and nature alike.

This year’s race features a new, scenic course along the Big Thompson River through downtown Estes Park, following the Riverwalk from the Rockwell Street Bridge to the Visitor Center, with multiple heats, live music, family activities, and more happening throughout the day.

You don’t need to be present to win—but you won’t want to miss it!

👉 Adopt your ducks today and help us make a splash for the Big T!
