The Great Tauranga Duck Race is on again at The Strand Waterfront. Last year over $37,000 was raised for participating schools, Life Education Trust and Tauranga Te Papa Rotary Club to support numerous community activities.

Participating schools will be selling tickets for numbered ducklings at $5 each (limited to 5,000 tickets only) over the next couple of months. The schools keep 100% of what they sell, so an important fundraiser.

Each duckling is numbered with a chance to win $1,000, $500 and $250.

These will be racing at 11am.

At 10.30am Corporate ducks will be racing, with both a motorised and unpowered category this year. If your business would like to participate, Corporate Ducks are $200 +GST. Simply use this link to enter

If you have any questions, contact us at: duckrace@xtra.co.nz and we will send you an information brochure covering the event.

The event is organised by Tauranga Te Papa Rotary Club, with main sponsor Ray White, Tauranga and Bayfair. Supporters are Palmers Bethlehem, McLeod Cranes and Media Works.
