FAQ
When is the race?
The Great Milltown Duck Race is held on the 4th of July @ approximately 5:00pm
Where does the race take place?
The race starts at the Hwy. 90 Bridge in downtown Milton on the beautiful Blackwater River. Race can be viewed in its entirety from the shore and boardwalk.
How does it work?
The Racing Ducks are loaded into a front-end loader and dumped in the river from the 90 bridge, once the ducks hit the water, the current helps them make their way into the track that we have set up. The track is in a “V” shape (ropes strung with noodles) that feeds down to a chute.
What does the winner get?
The first racing duck in will net to the proud adopter 1st $1500, 2nd $750 and 3rd $250.
Who are the Blackwater Pyrates?
The Blackwater Pyrates is a community service organization that serves the Bagdad/Milton area the Blackwater River and basins. We do this through river clean up, boater safety and education and maritime historical preservation. We are Pyrates with a purpose!
Where does the $ go?
The $ raised goes to the Blackwater Pyrates to help us in our above missions. It is our only fundraiser that helps us do all the things we do for our community throughout the year.
How many ducks race?
Up to 5000… or, currently between 4,000 and 5,000.
How do you know all of the racing ducks will be in the race?
The Blackwater Pyrates conduct an inventory of the racing ducks annually to make sure all ducks are present and any damaged ducks are replaced.
Do I need to be present to win?
No, just provide your name and phone # and we will contact you if you win.
What is the difference in racing ducks and souvenir/token ducks?
Racing ducks are specifically designed to race in the water. They are all numbered and collected at end of race to be stored for next year’s race. The souvenir/token ducks are smaller and are given to anyone that adopts a racing duck. They are usually adorned as some kind of character.
What about corporate sponsorships?
We have different level sponsorships available.
While you cannot adopt ducks on our website, just send us an email and we can come to you.
