Blue Ducky 5K Waddle
The Blue Ducky 5K Waddle is an annual run and virtual option held in memory of an individual who helped save the lives of eight people through organ, eye, and tissue donation. The event name reflects the honoree's fondness for the color blue and for rubber duckies. A portion of proceeds benefits the Chris Klug Foundation, an organization that promotes donation awareness.
