Rotary Club of Turton Duck Race 2025

Bradshaw Brook, Bradshaw (next to Bradshaw Cricket Club)

The annual Rotary Club of Turton Duck Race is an eagerly awaited event on the summer calendar in which thousands of pounds are raised for local charities.

Thousands of ducks can be seen bobbing their way down the fast-flowing Bradshaw Brook, cheered on by a large crowd who come out to support this annual event and line the banks of the brook as all bets are off.

The club raised more than £20,000 last year by selling tickets for corresponding numbered plastic ducks, which are then released into the brook over two heats, with each winner going into a grand final.

The first duck home wins £1,000 first prize for the ticket owner, with four more cash prizes. There is also a children's race, with tickets given on the day.

If you are a local business and want to sponsor the event, please do get in touch with Peter Gaskell on 07860 237062 email: cGV0ZXJnYXNrZWxsIHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20=
