Fakenham Corporate Duck Race 2021

Fakenham Corporate Duck Race
sponsored by local businesses
NEW DATE Sunday 19th September 2021

Join us for the Giant Duck Race
Active Fakenham, in partnership the Fakenham and District Rotary Club, is thrilled to be putting on this event. Join us to watch these ducks. 

Why your business should join in  
We hope your business decides to support this community project. We will aim to make the event as much fun as possible and encourage participation and attendance. We will also help promote your duck (and therefore your business). Any money raised will go towards community events in Fakenham and a contribution is also being made to Fakenham First Focus.  

We will aim to do this by:
• listing entries on our website
• posting on social media (we do Facebook, Instagram and Twitter)
• distributing press and media releases
• the event will be photographed and filmed (tbc) and these will be available to you as well as shared on social media and websites - we have arranged a photo shoot at the Bridge in Goggs Mill Road on Thursday 12th August at 5pm at Goggs Mill Bridge. This will go in the local paper. 

Winners prizes include
1. Two annual passes to Fakenham Racecourse https://www.fakenhamracecourse.co.uk/ 
2. A bottle of Champagne
