Abstract RRd stars are a subclass of RR Lyrae stars that pulsate simultaneously in the fundamental and the first-overtone radial modes. We report the analysis of 10 RRd stars discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 region of the Galactic halo using SDSS and Zwicky Transient Facility data. By combining the two data sets, we constructed ∼23 yr long lightcurves in gri bands, and conclude that out of 10, 9 were the classical RRd stars and 1 was the anomalous RRd star. We also observed the long-term variation, the Blazhko effect, in 3 classical RRd stars out of 10 stars, giving an incidence rate of 30%. The shortest Blazhko period observed was 226.4 ± 0.8 days and the longest was 2799 ± 75 days.
