🦆 Every duck makes a difference…

When you sponsor a duck for the Trent Duck Race, you’re not just entering a fun race - you’re helping Trent Rowing Club move one step closer to building our new boat barn and supporting the future of the club.

For just £25 per duck, your sponsorship helps create better space for boats, training and our growing rowing community.

And of course… there are some brilliant prizes up for grabs too 👀

🏆 The fastest three ducks will win a boat trip down the River Trent
🎟 Every duck is entered into a raffle to win a £100 Amazon voucher
🎁 Plus more special prizes still to be revealed!

So if you’ve been thinking about sponsoring a duck, consider this your friendly Tuesday nudge.

Your support really does mean the world to the club - and we’re incredibly grateful for every single duck that joins the race.

🦆 Sponsor your duck today and help us get our Ducks In A Row.
