About the GREAT DUCK RACE
The race starts in front of a bank on Main Street and runs through Stuttgart, a town famous for its rice farms and duck hunting heritage. The course offers a shorter and a longer distance option, and the surroundings carry the flat, open character of that kind of farming country.
Packet pickup happens at the Chamber of Commerce in the days before the race, with race-morning pickup available at the starting line before the gun goes off. The race falls on Thanksgiving weekend, so the finish drops you right into the Wings Over the Prairie Festival going on downtown.

The GREAT DUCK RACE has been held every year since at least 2014. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
