Deckie Races

Tidal Seafood Festival’s “National Deckie Race” is a major part of TIDAL Seafood Festival with the history of the race going back as far as the festival itself. In previous years it has been a "hotly contested competition" amongst the commercial fishing fleet deckie's, but now it's open to everyone.

The deckie races will be run by the Kilcunda-Bass cricket club as a fundraiser and there will be much more than just the races with plenty of activities for the whole family.

They will be situated on the beach beside the main marquee.

  • Entries will be now taken on the day only.

  • Entry will be per team (2 people)

  • Race will be timed with the 2 quickest for the day to face off for the win.

  • There will be other prizes along the way.

  • You can enter and run as many times as you want.

  • You must be 15 years old and above to enter the deckie race

  • There will be plenty of other kids games for those younger than 15, could you throw a float into a cray pot? Maybe knock the bails off bowling a float or is your aim pretty good and could hit a ball into a cray pot. These might be some of the skills the kids will need to win a prize.

  • Proceeds to the Kilcunda-Bass Cricket Club.

  • For more details head over to the race area on Saturday.
