It's Blenheim's most exciting duck race, raising funds for Life Ed Marlborough. This year the ducks have a new race track... through Pollard Park!
Help us raise funds for Life Education Trust Marlborough by purchasing a duck, and if your duck places 1st you win $500 cash thanks to Eva and the team at MTF Finance Blenheim!
Ducks are $5 each with all proceeds to Life Education Trust Marlborough, a charity that supports tamariki and rangatahi to grow up happy and healthy, making positive choices.
1st place is $500 cash thanks to MTF Finance Blenheim!
2nd place is a $500 Interislander travel voucher!
3rd place is $100 to spend at Quench Restaurant inside Chateau Marlborough!
Also on the day is ‘The Corporate Duck Super Race’ where local businesses compete against each other to win a morning tea shout from Sweet Creations. We use decoy ducks for this race and it’s heaps of fun to watch. If your business would like to purchase a duck for the corporate race please email Tasha at admin.marlborough@lifeedtrust.org.nz
Mr Whippy, Hazbeanz Mobile Espresso and a fundraising BBQ for the Marlborough Redcross Disaster Welfare Support Team will be there too so come join us for the fun and watch up to 700 yellow ducks race through Pollard Park! We’ll be set up near the playground at Pollard Park from 10.30am on Sunday 5th May, where any unsold ducks will be available. However we recommend purchasing your duck early to avoid disappointment.

Note: when purchasing a duck, we will email you before the event with your duck number (or numbers). We use plastic ducks in the race, not real ducks. We collect every duck at the end of the race, ready to use again the next year. Ducks are numbered #001 to #700.
