Pink Ladies’ Tractor Road Run – South Norfolk and North Suffolk
Organisers have announced that the 2025 Pink Ladies’ Tractor Road Run is set to be the biggest run to date with more than 200 ladies taking part in the event this Sunday 6th July.
This year will mark the event’s 21st run and more than 180 women are gearing up to drive the 20-mile route through south Norfolk and north Suffolk on a convoy of decorated tractors swathed in pink.
To date the popular event has raised an incredible total of £1.22m in aid of Cancer Research UK’s breast cancer appeal.
Organiser Annie Chapman, together with her husband John, recently received an MBE in the King’s birthday honours.
Each year, thousands of people line the route, cheering on the Pink Ladies in towns, villages, laybys and gardens. Houses and businesses are bedecked in pink bunting, banners and flags and many supporters dress in head-to-toe pink.
Each year about a quarter of the ladies taking part are new to the event with many having never driven a tractor before.
The convoy’s route starts at Thorpe Abbotts airfield before heading through Thorpe Abbotts, Brockdish and Upper Weybread, arriving in Harleston at about 12.30pm, before stopping for lunch between 1pm and 3pm at Gawdy Hall Meadow, Redenhall to which everyone is invited to bring a picnic lunch.
The route back to Thorpe Abbotts airfield heads through Pulham St. Mary, Rushall, Langmere Green and back to the airfield.
Last year, 191 women took to 178 tractors for the run raising £127,150 towards the ever-expanding grand total.
