Grampound Football Club : Annual  Grampound FC Duck Race

The Grampound FC Duck Race takes place once a year, on Grampound Carnival Day which is always the first Saturday in September.

The club sells yellow plastic ducks in the weeks leading up to the carnival and on the day of the race.  We ask all our members to sell ducks at £1 each and many more are bought during the afternoon of Carnival Day before the race. Our Duck Race is the club's biggest fundraiser.

Hundreds of ducks join the race and are launched from Grampound Bridge.  The first 4 ducks past the winning post and the slowest duck in the race win cash prizes :-

First prize        £100

Second prize    £50

Third Prize        £25

Fourth Prize     £10

Slowest Duck's Prize           £5
