Pink Ladies tractor run set to hit the road again in July
19th June 2025
The Pink Ladies Tractor Road Run 2025 has so far raised over £30,000 for breast cancer research.
Now in its 21st year, the Pink Ladies Tractor Road Run has raised over £1.2 million for Cancer Research UK’s breast cancer fund since it started in 2004.
This year’s run is set for 6th July and will see women drive decorated tractors through Norfolk and Suffolk.
The run starts at the 100th Bomb Group Airfield in South Norfolk, across the Waveney Valley into North Suffolk, then passes through the country town of Harleston to a public picnic lunch at Gawdy Hall, before returning to Thorpe Abbotts.
Co-founders of the event, Annie and John Chapman, were recently awarded MBEs in the King’s Birthday Honours 2025 for their fundraising work.
Amazing people doing an amazing job
Cecilia Pryce, head of research, compliance and shipping for Openfield, will be taking part in the run again this year in her Dexta tractor – having had to miss it last year due to a back operation.
“I have lost count on how many times I have now taken part in this tractor run,” she says. “The fact is it’s an amazing day out with amazing people doing an amazing job raising money for a very important cause.
“Lumps, bumps and scars on hearts and minds are not fun but thankfully many are now removed and followed up with treatment. Unfortunately, not always and many lovely, amazing individuals also lose their battles.
“Let’s do something for them and their families. Tractors make every normal person smile – they help feed this nation and are an honest work horse! Let’s use them to bring smiles and turn them pink for a great cause.”
Cecilia has so far raised nearly £2,000 – to donate visit her fundraising page.
