The only race that matters, the annual bank holiday rubber duck race. 

Colour in your rubber duck in the craft room, all Easter, and enter it into it into the duck race for free.

Bring your family along to the hotly-contested duck race.  A great prize for the winners is up for grabs.  Who will emerge victorious?
