The Pink Duck Race UK 2025 takes place on September 21. Mark your calendars—this is one race you won’t want to miss!

The race will be held at Cambridge Rowing Experience, Kimberley Rd, Cambridge CB4 1HJ. Get ready for a fun-filled event by the water, packed with cheering, excitement, and, of course, lots of Pink Ducks!

Cambridge is a city where centuries of history meet timeless beauty. Its cobbled streets and striking college courtyards tell stories dating back to the 13th century, while the River Cam winds gracefully through lush green meadows and beneath iconic stone bridges. World-renowned for its university, Cambridge has inspired generations of scholars, poets, and scientists, yet it also pulses with the energy of vibrant markets, gardens, and cultural festivals.

Boating is woven into its soul – from the serene glide of punts to the exhilarating tradition of rowing that has produced some of the finest crews in the world. With such a rich heritage and boating tradition, Cambridge is the ideal backdrop for the UK’s first-ever Pink Duck Race, where thousands of bright Pink Ducks will take to the water in a joyful celebration supporting a vital cause.

The Pink Duck Race UK will start at the City of Cambridge Rowing Club (est. 1844), home of the Cambridge Rowing Experience. The Club boasts world-class facilities, including a modern three-storey boathouse with a boat bay, spacious clubroom, changing facilities, and an upstairs gym – all offering sweeping views across Midsummer Common.

Together, the Cambridge Rowing Experience and City of Cambridge Rowing Club create a unique bridge between university rowing tradition and community inclusion, making them the perfect Venue Partner for the Pink Duck Race UK 2025.

The ducks hit the water at 14:30, so arrive early to snag a front-row spot for all the quack-tastic action!

The race itself lasts about 30 minutes, with plenty of time for cheering, selfies, and celebrating your ducks!

Absolutely! Bring your friends, family, and your loudest cheering voice. Nothing beats seeing your Pink Duck swim its way to glory live!

We’re proud to partner with Pink Ribbon Foundation, helping fund vital research, awareness campaigns, and support programs for those affected by breast cancer.

All proceeds from Pink Duck adoptions go directly to breast cancer initiatives. Your contribution supports research, local programs, and community awareness—turning every duck into a champion for the cause!

The Golden Duck is the ultimate prize for the fastest duck in the race! This year, it’s proudly sponsored by Lewis Malka London, adding a touch of sparkle and extra excitement to the competition.
