Welcome Back to the Rubber Duck Race!

We’re thrilled to announce that the beloved rubber duck race is returning on July 31st! This fun-filled event not only promises an enjoyable day out for the community but also supports a noble cause. The funds raised during the race will benefit Cosmic Charity, an organisation dedicated to assisting children and neonatal intensive care units at St Mary’s and Queen Charlotte’s hospitals. Your participation can make a remarkable difference in the lives of these young ones!

How the Race Works

Imagine the excitement as up to 3,000 bright yellow ducks are released into the canal, all set to race for glory! The rubber ducks will compete to see which is the quickest quacker, bobbing down a 100-meter stretch to the finish line. Sponsoring a duck is very affordable, with each entry costing just £3. The winner will not only receive a special prize that will be announced later but also the pride of having their duck beat out thousands of others!

More Fun Awaits!

The rubber duck race isn’t the only event happening on this exciting day. Coinciding with the race is the dragon boat regatta, a vibrant and action-packed competition where teams dressed in fun, fancy costumes battle it out on the water. There’s something for everyone to enjoy, making it a perfect day for families and friends to come together and engage in festive activities.

Mark your calendars for July 31st and join us for this wonderful event. In addition to supporting Cosmic Charity, you’ll create lasting memories with your loved ones, all while enjoying the thrill of the race. Whether you choose to sponsor a duck or cheer from the sidelines, your participation is invaluable. Let’s make this year’s rubber duck race an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!
