Duck Race

Quack Quack – The Duck Race is back! Brought to you by the 1st Welwyn Scout Group and in conjunction with the Welwyn Festival Group.

We’re very sorry but online sales have now sold out.

To enter the Great Welwyn Duck Race – please visit the 1st Welwyn Scout Stall at the Fun Day on Singler’s Marsh

On the 29th June 2024 Up to 2,000 plastic ducks will be released into the Mimram River alongside Singler’s Marsh and will race 100 metres down the river to the bridge. The first three ducks to reach the bridge will be winners.

There will be prizes for those who back the first three ducks to reach the bridge:
£50 – First place
£30 – Second place
£20 – Third place

You can back a single duck for £2 or you can back six ducks for £10. All money raised will go to the 1st Welwyn Scout Group and will be used towards purchase of much needed equipment for the young people, e.g. camping equipment, pioneering poles etc.

The race will take place at the end of the Welwyn fun day at Singler’s Marsh on Saturday 29th June 2024. This is typically at around 4:45pm after the main raffle has been drawn. Please come and support the 1st Welwyn scout Group and cheer your ducks along.

Important note: No live ducks will be involved in this race. All ducks are plastic and have numbers written on the underneath.
