The organisational formula required in general to facilitate a Duck Race from start
to finish is as follows:
- Commence organisation at least 6-9 months from the proposed race date.
- Liaise with DDR to select a suitable site on a river or lake which can facilitate
a 'track' of at least 250 metres. Not impeded by any structures and with a possible
viewing area for the public to view the race. The race takes approximately 20-25
minutes. The best race time is between 3pm and 5pm.
- Advice and assistance to obtain permissions from the local river authority, park
or Council.
