> Education > Moorfoot Primary Duck Race Hire

An easy and fun way to raise funds for your organisation!

You can hire the pre numbered ducks from ourselves, with free delivery and collection in the Midlothian area.

We recommend selling the ducks at £1.00 each and it's up to you what prize structure you choose.

At our own annual event, we raced 1500 ducks ; we had three heats of 500 ducks and the winning ten from each race went on to race in the final.

Small prizes of sweets etc were given to the heats winners and in the final, first won £100, second £50 and third £25. We also had a prize for the most ducks sold of a small duck mounted on a trophy which we can arrange for you costing a further £15. You could also give non monetary donated prizes such as vouchers etc, the choice is yours.

We request a deposit of £200 per 500 ducks in the form of a signed cheque which shall be returned to you on return of the ducks. Should any ducks get lost on their way, we charge 50p per replacement duck , e.g. if 10 ducks get lost, £5.00 will be charged, this will be payable at collection.

We can also provide start and finish signs, an example of duck sponsor sheets and netting for the finish line. All you need provide is the river!
