Blue Ducky Waddle

The Blue Ducky 5K Waddle is an annual running event held at Tickfaw State Park in Springfield, Louisiana, honoring Stephany Nicolosi, a celebrated organ donor. The race features a 5K course along the park's main entrance road, with participants running 1.55 miles out and back, passing scenic water areas and finishing near the River Trailhead. The park offers a unique natural setting with boardwalks through diverse ecosystems including swamps and hardwood forests.

Participants receive a shirt, sunglasses, and refreshments, with awards for top finishers. A portion of proceeds supports the Chris Klug Foundation, promoting organ donation awareness. A virtual 5K option is also available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
