The Annual Duck Race Sweepstake 2020
Everyone’s favourite duck-based fundraising event is back! The Annual Duck Race Sweepstake takes place this year across our website and social media channels LIVE at 1pm on Friday 13th November.
20 pop-culture inspired rubber ducks will face-off in another thrilling ride down the famous white-water racetrack to fight for the elusive title of Duck Race Champion 2020.
It’s time to get together (virtually or in person if it’s safe to do so!), download a sweepstake poster and pick your duck. For just a small donation you can get your duck, watch the race and if your duck wins, you’ll take home those all-important bragging rights!
To get you in the mood for race day, relive the 2019 event below.
