Pink Ladies Tractor Road Run 2026 – south Norfolk and north Suffolk

July 5

The engines are ready and the pink is brighter than ever as the iconic Pink Ladies’ Tractor Road Run returns on Sunday 5th July for what promises to another stellar year.

More than 180 ladies – including many first-time drivers – are preparing to take part in the much-loved charity convoy, driving decorated pink tractors along a 20-mile route through south Norfolk and north Suffolk.

Now in its 22nd year, the unforgettable event has raised an astonishing £1.36 million for Cancer Research UK’s breast cancer appeal since it first began in 2004 as a one-off fundraiser.

This year, organisers are setting their sights even higher, hoping to smash through the £1.5million fundraising milestone.

Thousands of supporters are once again expected to line the roads, villages and gardens along the route, transforming the countryside into a sea of pink bunting, banners and fancy dress as they cheer on the convoy.

The convoy will begin at Thorpe Abbotts Airfield before travelling through Thorpe Abbotts, Brockdish and Upper Weybread, arriving in Harleston at around 12.30pm.

Drivers will then stop for lunch from 1pm to 3pm at Gawdy Hall Meadow, Redenhall, where supporters are invited to bring a picnic and enjoy the celebrations.

The return route will pass through Pulham St Mary, Rushall and Langmere Green before heading back to Thorpe Abbotts Airfield.

Last year, a record breaking 192 tractors took part, helping raise an incredible £136,850 towards the ever-growing fundraising total.
