A picture of a duck race

About

Come and join us for the Great Ilkley Duck Race 2025, and help raise funds for local charities.

Each of our Yellow Ducks has a unique number. The tickets numbers match the duck numbers. Buying the ticket backs that duck to win the race. When the race starts, all bought ducks are launched into the river. The ducks that reach the finish line are the winners. Hang on to your ticket for proof of purchase.

First Prize: £200

Second Prize: £100

Third Prize: £75

4th, 5th, 6th Prizes: £50
