About This Event

The annual RAFA Duck Race is set to make a splash in Lincoln this Friday, 28 August, with the vibrant festivities commencing at 2pm on Stokes High Bridge. Organised by the Royal Air Forces Association branch at RAF Waddington, this much-anticipated community gathering promises an afternoon of fun and fundraising for a worthy cause. Enthusiasts can secure their chance to win by purchasing a brightly coloured duck for £2.50. Each entry contributes directly to the charitable efforts supported by the RAFA. Attendees can look forward to a lively programme of entertainment, with a variety of local performers lined up to provide a soundtrack to the afternoon's activities. The event offers a fantastic opportunity for families and friends to come together, enjoy the riverside atmosphere, and support the important work of the Royal Air Forces Association.

RAFA Duck Race Lincoln is an event run by RAF Waddington's Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) Committee to raise vital funds for charity.

You don't need to attend this event to be in with a chance to win!

When you purchase a ticket, you get a duck in the race, support a charity and are in with a chance to win a prize. All ducks will be released from High Bridge and will finish before the next bridge on the waterway, Waterside South (approx. 100m). If your duck comes in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th place, you'll be notified within 7 days as being one of our prize winners!

1st prize - £250

2nd prize - Food hamper worth £100 (donated by Meta Mission Data)

3rd prize - 2 x free passes to Jump Inc (any UK park)

4th prize - £50 Ole Ole Tapas Bar Voucher

5th prize - A signed Red Arrows Print

The RAFA Duck Race is organised by service personnel from RAF Waddington's RAFA Committee.

Paper tickets are only available when sold at other events where the RAF Waddington's RAFA Committee are in attendance. This page is only for purchasing e-tickets.

Please note that the total cost of the e-tickets is slightly higher than paper tickets due to Eventbrite admin fees. There is no difference to a paper ticket or an e-ticket - you will still stand the same chance of winning.

All proceedings (minus event costs) will go to RAFA Registered Charity 226686 (England & Wales), SC037673 (Scotland).

If prizes are not claimed within 14 days of being notified, we will re-allocate to another ticket holder via a random number generator.

E-ticket holders will be assigned a duck number in order of e-ticket purchase approximately 45 minutes before the event begins.

Paper tickets are already numbered and therefore that number will be the same as the one on the duck.

If in the unlikely event the race cannot go ahead, we will create a virtual one using a random number generator.

Good luck!
