Devro were presented with the trophy on Friday, as the coronavirus pandemic couldn't allow all the businesses to be present for the race held the weekend before on Sunday, September 13.
The Devro duck finished comfortably ahead of its nearest rivals, with Inland Digital coming in second.
All up, the race managed to raise $10,500, with the majority of money raised going to the 2BS Bathurst Lions Christmas Miracle Appeal, which helps pack and deliver over 200 hampers to those less fortunate or elderly in the local area.

Race coordinator Steve Semmens previously told the Western Advocate that the support the race received was "fantastic".
"Considering the economic conditions we're under, it's amazing," he said.
"We've been blown away and certainly the Rotary Club of Bathurst is very grateful for all those people that got behind us. It's just fantastic."
Last year's duck race was won by Inland Digital, with the event raising $8500 all up. All proceeds were donated to the Uniting Self Shelter.
In comparison to last year, this year's race was much quicker, considering recent rain raising the level of the Macquarie River, to be flowing much faster than before.
Devro is looking to give away the advertising package it won through the duck race to a non-for-profit organisation in the Bathurst community.
