The Race List Sidebar
After clicking "Races", a sidebar will appear on the left side showing all your saved races. Your races are listed in reverse chronological order (newest first), making it easy to find your most recent configurations.
Sidebar displays all your races with management options
What you can do in the sidebar:

Saving Your Races
There are two convenient ways to save your race configurations for future use:
Method 1: Save from Race List Sidebar

Create a new race directly from the sidebar
Method 2: Save from Game Interface
While setting up your race in the game interface, click the "Save as..." button at the bottom. This allows you to save your current configuration (including all participant names and settings) with a custom name.
Use "Save as..." to save your current race configuration
Sharing Your Races
Want to share your race configuration with others? Duck Race makes it easy to generate shareable links.
How to Share a Race
Open the race list sidebar and locate the race you want to share.
Click the share button next to the race name.
Click the share icon to generate a link
A dialog will appear with a shareable link. Click "Copy Link" to copy it to your clipboard.
Copy the generated link to share with others
Share the link with anyone! They can open it in any browser or device to access your race configuration.
Important Information About Sharing
Server Storage & 30-Day Limit
When you share a race, your configuration is uploaded to our servers to make it accessible via the shareable link. Shared races are automatically deleted after 30 days for privacy and storage management.
How to Keep Shared Races Long-Term
If someone opens your shared race link and wants to keep it permanently on their device:
- Open the shared race link in their browser
- The race will load in the game interface
- Click "Save as..." at the bottom
- Enter a name to save it to their local browser storage
Local saves are permanent and stored only on the device—they won't be affected by the 30-day server deletion.
Quick Reference
Local Storage
Races saved to your browser are stored permanently on your device and never expire.
Shared Races
Races uploaded for sharing are deleted from servers after 30 days automatically.
Privacy First
Your local races never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to share them.
Cross-Device Access
Use share links to transfer races between devices, then save locally for permanent access.
