Five Buck A Duck Derby

It's Blenheim's most exciting duck race... The Five Buck a Duck Derby!  This year the ducks are racing through Pollard Park, what a hoot!

Help us raise funds for Life Education Trust Marlborough by purchasing a duck, and if your duck places 1st you win $500 cash thanks to Eva and the team at MTF Finance Blenheim.

1st place - $500 cash from MTF Finance Blenheim

2nd place - $500 Interislander travel voucher

3rd place - $100 Quench Restaurant voucher

Ducks are $5 each with all proceeds to Life Education Trust Marlborough, a charity that supports tamariki and rangatahi to grow up happy and healthy, making positive choices. 

Mr Whippy, Hazbeanz Mobile Espresso and a fundraising BBQ for the Marlborough Redcross Disaster Welfare Support Team will be there too so come join us for the fun and watch up to 700 yellow ducks race through Pollard Park!  We’ll be set up near the playground at Pollard Park from 10.30am on Sunday 5th May, where any unsold ducks will be available. However we recommend purchasing your duck early to avoid disappointment. 

Note: when purchasing a duck, you’ll be given a ticket number which corresponds to your duck number. These are plastic ducks, not real ducks. We collect every duck at the end of the race, ready to use again the next year.
