Every duck has a purpose.

For Alaska EXCEL students, support from events like the Great Alaska Duck Race helps open doors to hands-on learning, career exploration, leadership development, and experiences that help them prepare for life after high school.

From village to career, students are building skills and discovering what’s possible.

Thank you for helping us create those opportunities.

🦆 Why We Race 💙

The Great Alaska Duck Race is more than a fundraiser. It's a community coming together to make a bigger impact across Alaska.

Every participating organization sells raffle tickets to support its own mission. Purchase through any participating team, and you're supporting the important work they do in our communities!

Different missions. One community. Bigger impact.

We're proud to race alongside the Anchorage Hockey Association, Alaska EXCEL, The Alaska Zoo, American Lung Association in Alaska, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, Alaska Potbelly Pig Rescue Inc., and more organizations joining the flock.

Together, we're proving that when nonprofits work side by side, everyone wins.
