The charity duck race in Old Leigh took place today, the 30th of July 2017. 1,400 rubber ducks were launched just before 1pm. It cost a pound to sponsor a duck for the race, with proceeds going to charity.
Due to prevailing winds, the ducks had to reverse the planned route, running from Billet Wharf to Bell Wharf.
Here’s a short video showing the final moments of the epic race!
The winning ducks are confirmed as: 776 , 1044 , 1300 and 786
The event was organised by The Lions of Leigh – Well done to all involved, and especially, the winning ducks!
