Get ready for a fun-filled morning on July 18, 2026, at North Star's fourth annual Duck Dash event in Cedar Falls, featuring a timed 5K run/walk that kicks off at 7:30 am, followed by the Great Rubber Duck Splash fundraiser. Whether you're a serious runner or prefer to walk, this race welcomes all fitness levels and offers both a participant medal and timing; you can register online by July 15th (or by July 7th if you want to guarantee a t-shirt), with packet pickup available Friday, July 17th at North Star Community Services in Waterloo or race morning starting at 6:30 am. The event costs $30 without a shirt or $45 with one, and duck-themed costumes are encouraged to add to the festive atmosphere!
