Kentville is well-known as a family community. We support many different sports teams and community-based organizations. Because of this, you never have to look far for an event of one kind or another. Meet us at Miners Marsh, a Ducks Unlimited Canada site known for its stunning beauty among a wetland habitat. It is home to a variety and abundance of wildlife.
Gather your flock of friends and family and migrate our way this fall to enjoy time outdoors, courtesy of nature.
We’ll make it worth the trip! Download our map to view the route which will include multiple loops around picturesque Miners Marsh!
Prizes for top fundraisers!
Canada’s wetlands are incredible!
By lacing up for Duck and Run, you're helping to:
- Make Canada’s lakes and beaches clean and healthy! Wetlands are nature’s kidneys, filtering out pollutants and reducing the risk of blue-green algae.
- Secure the future for wildlife! More than 550 species rely on Canada’s wetland habitats, including 97 species at risk.
- Build climate resilience for our communities! Wetlands store carbon, shield our communities from extreme weather and reduce the severity of flooding and drought.
These incredible ecosystems need our help. Many have already been lost and more are destroyed every day. That’s why we’re celebrating our 85th anniversary with a pledge to protect 15 million habitat acres across Canada this year alone—adding up to a surface area larger than Lake Huron!
Fundraising Incentives
Each registered participant will receive a commemorative lanyard, waterfowl band and neck gaiter!
You can also earn a cool Duck and Run t-shirt by raising $150 or more.
Ask your friends, family, co-workers to support your efforts and make a donation to your personal fundraising page, if you raise $150 or more we will send you the t-shirt!
