Charity Duck Race

Sat, Jul 20th 2024 at 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

The seventh Northwich Charity Duck Race takes place on Sunday 20th July 2024 as part of the Northwich River Festival activities.


With a bit of assistance from our enthusiastic canoe mounted stewards we managed to encourage several thousand ducks to reach the finishing line at the joining of the Dane and the Weaver.  Our President and his helpers were aboard a narrow boat straddled across the mouth of the Dane and ensured that every single duck was recovered and accounted for.  The ducks are cleaned and recycled in readiness for a repeat performance next year.

The winning ducks were: 

1st - 1835

2nd - 76, 2076 & 3076

3rd - 662 & 2662

Tickets for the 2022 race will be available next year.
