The Rotary Club of Burleigh Heads Great Duck Race is back!

The Quack Back Against DV Race raises much-needed funds to support people affected by domestic violence here on the Gold Coast, with all proceeds going to Hearts of Purple.

With only 200 ducks in this race, your odds of winning are fantastic! Adopt your own duck for $250, or go in together as a syndicate with family, friends or work colleagues.

Win one of these great prizes

First Prize: $5,000 travel voucher

Second Prize: Luxury Hinterland Getaway at The Bamboos Country Escape, valued at $1,000

Third Prize: $500 cash

How it works

Adopt your duck for $250 (solo or as a syndicate).
Each entry is randomly matched to one of our 200 large numbered rubber ducks.
On race day, all the ducks are released into the creek together.
The first three ducks across the finish line win, and winners are notified by phone straight after the race.

Race day: Saturday 21 November, Currumbin RSL Reserve. Gates open at 12 noon with live music, kids' activities and food stalls. The Quack Back Against DV Race starts at around 1:30pm.

Online duck adoption closes at 3pm on Friday 20 November.

With special thanks to our race sponsors
