| Stroller Division (optional) | The Duck Waddle is a family event, so make your kiddos part of the action! Mother runners (OK, dads, too), air up the tires on the baby joggers, and see if you can outpace one another for bragging rights at PTA this year. Safety Note: We’ll have instructions on race day regarding how to line up and navigate the course. |
| Dog Division (optional) | Many of us run with our pooches, so why not invite them to race with us? If you have a speedy pup who would do well in a busy race environment, sign yourselves up! Safety Note: Limit one dog per participant. All dogs must be on a non-retractable leash that is less than six feet in length. We’ll have instructions on race day regarding how to line up and navigate the course. |

Where can i find the pictures that were taken? Looked like there might have been a few interesting shots!
Hi, Ryan,
I’m not sure when the pictures will be available. Our photographer will be sorting through them and picking out the best before they come back to us. When we get them, we will either put them up here — on SertomaDuckRace.com — or on the Sertoma Duck Race Facebook page. Let me know if you have other questions!
