There are also 2nd prize of £200, 3rd prize of £100 & a 4th prize of £50.

All profits from this event support local good causes that our amazing volunteers at The Lions Club of Looe give their time to raise funds for year-round.

BEST VIEWING POSITIONS

The Ducks enter the water from the bridge around 1pm on August 29th. So to witness the start - gather near to the War Memorial and along the top of Buller Quay. The race concludes near the steps outside of The Old Boat House (near the boat trip pontoon).

IMPORTANT TO NOTE

No ducks are harmed in the running of this event and no ducks make a swim for it to the open seas. The event is run when the tide is very low with nets & volunteers catching the little fellas in the narrowest point of the river to avoid escapees!
