Duck Racing

Welcome to our latest series of duck racing information pages - packed with even more ideas for a quacking event which raises lots of money!

If you've never held a duck race before, then you'll find plenty of information about what you need to do - including crucial details like retrieving the ducks at the end of the race!

An experienced duck race organiser or not, you'll find ideas for races to raise more sponsorship - and for creating lots more fun at the duck race itself.

And remember - though some duck races have thousands of ducks - a duck race for 100 or so ducks still gives you the opportunity for an event with other attractions too. 

In fact, don't think Duck Race - think Duck Fest: a fun day that the whole family will enjoy, and a great fund-raiser.
