The Great Tauranga Duck Race
The Duck Race will be held on Sunday 13 April 2025 at The Strand Waterfront, downtown Tauranga.
 
 
There will be two classes of ducks racing at a fun event.
 
Corporate Ducks (all dressed up in your company colours) start their race at 10.30am.
Corporate entry per duck is $200 +GST, with sales available from mid January 2025.
A small donation from your company can make a huge difference to many, so get in behind this fundraiser and fun event.
All Corporate Ducks to be delivered to the start line by 10.00am at the eastern end of the waterfront ( look out for the McLeod Crane).
 
5,000 Ducklings for The Great Tauranga Duck Race will be released at 11.00 am.
Remember in the New Year you will be able to buy tickets for each numbered duckling for only $5 each, with prizes of 1st place $1,000, 2nd place $500 and 3rd $250. With only 5,000 tickets issued you'd be quackers to miss out on a chance to win $1,000 cash.  
 
The finish line for both events is the pier opposite the Hairy Maclary statues.
 
All proceeds go to participating schools in Tauranga, Life Education Trust and Rotary Charitable Activities.
