Ouachita Riverfest Duck Dash 5K
The Ouachita Riverfest Duck Dash is a timed running race held in West Monroe, Louisiana. The event features a 5K course that begins in Downtown West Monroe, leads participants to Lazare Park, and returns to the starting area. The race is held in conjunction with the larger Riverfest event, which includes a variety of festival activities such as live music on the Riverfest stage, food trucks, and local vendors.
Registration for the race includes several commemorative items, such as a hat, a koozie, and a finisher medal. Awards are presented in the form of medals for different age groups. In addition to the timed competition, the event hosts a costume contest where participants are encouraged to wear outfits inspired by ducks for a chance to win a prize.
The festival environment offers several amenities for participants and their families. A family zone is available featuring various activities and rides for children. Specifically designated areas for photography, including a photo wall and finish-line photo opportunities, are set up with festival-themed backdrops. The event is supported by local sponsors from the realty, outdoors, chiropractic, and landscaping sectors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
