The Great British Duck Race wasn’t the first duck race Duck Holiday has been too. Just a week earlier on August 30th we popped along the M4 to join in the fun at the first ever Llanelli Duck Race. Organised by Llanelli Sea Cadets this was a fund raising event that attracted interest from local businesses and the community. Unfortunately the weather had a massive impact on the day, but it couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm or spirits of those who attended.

The cadets ran two races. One for individuals, which saw a whole bunch of small ducks washed rapidly down the River lliedi, and another for business which had branded giant ducks (a bit like the O2 advert) manage to look a bit more graceful than their smaller counterparts as they “swam” along the water.

Team Loquax, who run Duck Holiday, had two giant ducks in the business race. One duck made a valiant effort in it’s attempts to win whilst the other ended up on it’s side and narrowly avoided coming last by a beak or two.

Overall, weather aside, it was a fantastic day and hopefully the platform for an annual duck racing event.
