Raft Race 2012.

The event was held on Sunday 16th September, delayed from June due to the exceptionally high river levels.

It started at the Weir in Emberton Park - see map. The rafts began to turn up from around 11am, with the scrutineering starting at 12 Noon. The draw for their running order was at 12.45pm, and then it was over to the Ducks!

The Duck Race started at 1pm. This was run in conjunction with Olney Scouts, who also ran the tote on the day, and provided hot food at the start.

Following on from the Duck Race, the Rafts started taking to the water at 1.45pm. There was a random draw for the starting order, and the 13 rafts started the course one every 3 minutes.


The Raft Race finished at the Swimming Steps in Olney - see map.
