Knaresborough Tractor Run announces date for 10th anniversary event

Tuesday, 27 October 2026 at 08:59

The Knaresborough Tractor Run is back for a 10th year in March.

The Knaresborough Tractor Run will return on Sunday 14th March 2027 for a special anniversary event.

Organisers have confirmed the date as planning gets underway for what they are marking as the run’s 10th anniversary.

The annual fundraiser brings hundreds of vintage, classic and modern tractors through the Harrogate district and Nidderdale in support of Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Announcing the date, a spokesperson said:

“Next year will be a very special year, marking 10 years of the Knaresborough Tractor Run!

“We look forward to seeing you all there.”

The most recent run, held on Sunday 8th March 2026, attracted 402 tractors, with crowds lining the route to cheer on those taking part.

The convoy set off from the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate before travelling through local towns and villages, stopping in Pateley Bridge and finishing in Knaresborough.

That followed a record-breaking turnout of 423 tractors in 2025, which helped raise £31,690 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

The run is organised by a volunteer committee, many of whom come from an agricultural background, and continues in memory of local farmer and founding member Michael Spink, who died in January 2017 aged 24.
