Oxspring Duck Race
The Oxspring duck race took place on the 9th July 2004. Oxspring is a village in South Yorkshire.
More than two thousand ducks were raced down a short section of the River Don, in several heats with 250 ducks each. The ducks were dropped into the river from a bridge. The first three ducks from each heat won a prize, and those, along with the next twenty five ducks went through to the final.
