GREAT HUMBOLDT DUCK
RACE
Tentative Date: Friday, July 22nd at 9 a.m.
Ducks will be dumped from top of Angel Park Hill in the
event of drought.
As the Museum’s biggest fundraiser, the Great Humboldt Duck
Race has become one of Elko’s unique family events. Every
year, thousands of little rubber duckies are adopted by
supporters of the Museum and then dumped into the
Humboldt River where they race to the finish line. The
quickest duck wins its adopter $1,500 cash. The last duck to
cross the finish line wins the $250 prize sponsored by
Everything Elko!
Are you or your business interested in sponsoring the Great Humboldt Duck Race? A sponsorship costs $500. With your donation
you will receive 200 ducks that will be included in the race as well as advertising over the course of the summer. We will have your
logo on all of our Duck Race ads for 2022, and your information will be featured when we sell ducks at the summer events.
