race will take place at noon on Easter Monday at Higher Mills Flats in Windsor Terrace.

An event spokesperson said: “Everyone goes a bit quackers at midday on Easter Monday as hundreds of individually numbered bright yellow toy ducks are released into the river Lim at Higher Mill Flats where they hurtle downstream in a mad paddle towards the finish line at Jordan Flats.

“The bath time companions initially negotiate the relatively calm waters by Windsor Terrace before the fearless racers gather pace after descending the potentially treacherous weir at Woodmead Road bridge. They wind their way around the bend at Lymbrook Cottages, before riding out the bumps and dips along the stretch by Jericho with some final jostling for position with the finish line in sight.”

Lyme Regis town crier Alan Vian will officially start the duck race while supporters can cheer on their competitor from the river banks.

The first duck across the line will win £50, with prizes also going to second, third and last place.

Organisers added: “We take our environmental responsibilities seriously, as volunteers ensure all plastic ducks are captured in a giant net just after the finish line and stored until they race again.”
