Get ready to burn rubber at the annual Founders Day Duck Dash--part of Blue & Gold Celebration 2020.

Student-decorated rubber ducks will once again take to the waves of Slate Run Creek on campus to race for the glory of a spot in campus history.

At this time, all entries have been submitted for the race. Tune in on Oct. 8 to watch this year's Dash. The race will be held live in Slate Creek, but the results will be shared virtually via the Blue & Gold Celebration webpage and social media.

Founders Day commemorates the founding of the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg on October 10, 1962, when Pitt Chancellor Edward Litchfield announced Pitt's intention to open a regional campus in Greensburg.
