🦆💕 Quack Quack! The Pink Duck Race Is Coming to Cambridge — And You’re Invited!
Something wonderfully wacky and heartwarming is coming to the River Cam this September — and it’s all for an amazing cause.
On Sunday 21st September 2025, Cambridge will host the UK’s very first Pink Duck Race, organised by the fantastic team at the Pink Ribbon Foundation, in support of those affected by breast cancer. 💖
Yes, you read that right — 20,000 bright pink rubber ducks will be released onto the river to race for glory, awareness, and fundraising. It’s going to be joyful, pink, and just a little bit bonkers… and we can’t wait!
🎀 Why a Pink Duck Race?
The Pink Duck Race is more than just a fun day out — it’s a symbol of hope and solidarity. Every duck adopted represents someone’s story, someone’s fight, or someone’s support. Whether you’ve experienced breast cancer yourself or want to stand by someone who has, this event is your chance to take action in the most cheerful way possible.
For just £5, you can adopt your own Pink Duck, give it a name, and watch it join thousands of others as they race down the river — all raising funds for breast cancer support and awareness.
💖 How It Works
- 🦆 Adopt a duck for £5
- 🎁 Gift a duck to a loved one as a meaningful gesture
- 🏁 Watch 20,000 ducks race — live in Cambridge or via social media
- 🏆 Win prizes if your duck finishes first (including the sparkly Gold Duck!)
- 💼 Businesses can sponsor or adopt duck flocks with corporate packages
- 💰 All funds raised go to the Pink Ribbon Foundation, supporting those affected by breast cancer
It’s a win-win: raise awareness, have a laugh, and maybe even take home a prize!
🥰 Can’t Make It to Cambridge? No Problem!
If you can’t attend in person, don’t worry — the race will be streamed online and covered on social media. You’ll still be able to cheer on your duck from anywhere in the UK (or the world!).
📲 Just follow @pinkribbonfoundation and @pinkduckrace on Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) to keep up with the action. There’ll be plenty of quacking content before, during, and after race day.
