The vibrant city of Chemnitz, named the European Capital of Culture 2025, is gearing up for an exciting event this August. On the 31st of August, the 13th Chemnitz Duck Race will take place, promising thrilling entertainment and a unique experience for all.

Organised by the Lions Club Chemnitz, the Duck Race has become a symbol of unity and commitment in the city. This year, the event is proudly sponsored by EDEKA, with the main sponsor supporting the Duck Race to promote community engagement and support local sports and charity initiatives.

Thousands of yellow racing ducks will participate in the event, each representing a participant who has secured their own duck for the race. The primary purpose of the Duck Race is to raise funds for charity, with proceeds going towards beneficial projects in the region.

Spectators can cheer on and encourage their ducks as they race towards the finish line. The starting shot for the race will be fired at 2 PM, and the race promises to be filled with excitement and surprises.

In addition to the racing ducks, EDEKA is offering amazing prizes for the Duck Race. One of the prizes is a SMEG refrigerator, adding an extra incentive for participants. The Duck Race offers an experience suitable for the whole family, making it a perfect day out for all.

Participants can secure their racing duck tickets directly in the markets, and EDEKA is also offering these tickets. The proceeds from the Duck Race continue to support beneficial projects in the region, ensuring that the event makes a positive impact on the community.

The 13th Chemnitz Duck Race is not just a fun-filled event; it's a day of unity, community engagement, and support for local charities. So, mark your calendars for August 31, 2025, and join in the excitement of the Chemnitz Duck Race!
