What is the Usk Duck Race?
Every year Usk Town, in glorious Monmouthshire, holds a rubber duck race down the river Usk.
Usk Town has been racing ducks for 42 years.
Thousands of rubber ducks set off from Usk Bridge and race to a point 200m down stream where the Town's duck handlers carefully collect the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and lucky ducks ready for the prize giving at Usk Cricket Pavilion.
A Limited Edition Red Duckling is still included as part of the race. This was introduced to celebrate our 40th Anniversary.
1st Prize Traditional and Duckling Race - £300
2nd Prize Traditional Race - £150
3rd Prize Traditional Race - £50
5 Lucky Ducks - £5 each
