Duck & Run 2024

Ducks Unlimited Canada’s national fundraising race for wetland conservation.

About the Run

Join our annual fundraiser, Duck and Run, as we sprint to protect Canada’s precious wetlands. Whether you choose our 10K Steps Virtual Race or our lively in-person 5K Run and 1K Fun Run, your involvement directly supports wetland conservation efforts. With over $34,000 raised by 550 participants in 2023, we’re back for 2024, aiming to surpass our conservation goals.

Register now for the virtual race and stay tuned for updates on in-person events and volunteer opportunities. Let’s race for cleaner water, thriving wildlife, and a resilient future!

550 Species rely on wetlands

97 Species are at risk

34K Raised in 2023

By the Numbers

These incredible ecosystems need our help. Many have already been lost and more are destroyed every day. That’s why we pledge to protect 15 million habitat acres across Canada this year alone—adding up to a surface area larger than Lake Huron!
