The 28th Annual Great Ware Duck Race

The 2011 Great Ware Duck Race was held on Sunday July 17th at Ware Lock in weather that best be described as "Lovely for Ducks!" Despite the rain, a good crowd of people turned up to watch the excitement of this annual event that has raised many thousands of pounds for local charities and good causes over the past 28 years.

At least the rain helped the flow of water over the weir, resulting in a fast race - the winner sprinting home in a little over 12 minutes.

Once again THANK YOU to everyone who bought a ticket or who came along and supported us. Special thanks also to the Hoddesdon Sub Aqua Club without whose help the race would not have been possible.
