The Great Norwich Duck Race was conceived by and is run by the 1st Norwich Sea Scout Group (Reg.Charity No. 1034608) as a fund raising event for scouting in & around Norwich. This year funds raised will go towards scouting activities at 1st Norwich and other groups involved with the event. As well as the prize monies mentioned elsewhere a contribution is also made to the Lord Mayors charity and another worthy cause. In the event of unforeseen circumstances which prevent the race being run the promoter will decide the winners by a lottery of the entrants.
