Along with the race itself, last year’s debut Rubber Duck Dash also included a number of festival elements, including games, a dunk tank and a “duck-orating” contest, which saw participants decorate a rubber duck to be judged by attendees. Lambourn said the “duck-orating” contest will also be held, regardless of a limit on gathering size.”
