Ducky Dash

Ducky Dash is a 5K run/walk event held at Herrick Lake Forest Preserve in Wheaton, Illinois, supporting the neurofibromatosis (NF) community. The course features four loops around Herrick Lake, accessed via Butterfield Road. Participants enjoy race swag, medals, T-shirts, and treats at the finish line.

A unique aspect is the "best ducky-themed outfit" contest, encouraging creative costumes. The event also offers virtual participation options. Proceeds benefit the NF Network, which raises awareness and funds research for neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder affecting the nervous system.

The event fosters a fun, supportive atmosphere for runners, walkers, and supporters alike. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
