It’s duck-racing season.

Not to be confused with duck-hunting season, duck races are when thousands of rubber ducks get together and race for a good cause.

It’s become an annual tradition in Hall County as a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Clubs, and this year the ducks will gather Saturday at Clarks Bridge Park.

The event also features a family health fair, a blood drive, visits by K-9 dogs and activities for kids, too. But the centerpiece of the day will be the race, when the ducks all jump in the water and race around a pre-set course to the finish line.

Each duck comes with a number, but they also have some racing history attached to them, too.

Just for fun, we asked some kids at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hall County to introduce us to a few ducks and show us the duck’s personal style. With special thanks to the staff at the Boys & Girls Clubs, meet a few of our speedy ducklings:
