Rural charity event across Llŷn Peninsula to support lifesaving services
A CHARITY tractor road run across the Llŷn Peninsula will take place later this spring, raising funds for two vital health causes.
The Welsh National Tractor Road Run 2026 will be held on Sunday, May 31, starting at 10am from Crugarn Farm in Llanbedrog, near Pwllheli.
Organised by the Llŷn and Eifionydd Tractor Enthusiasts, the popular event is expected to bring together tractor owners from across Wales and beyond for a scenic countryside run while raising money for charity.
This year’s event will support the Wales Air Ambulance and the Alaw Cancer Ward at Ysbyty Gwynedd.
Support for vital services
The Wales Air Ambulance provides emergency medical treatment across Wales, often reaching patients in remote rural areas where a rapid response can be critical.
Meanwhile, Alaw Ward at Ysbyty Gwynedd offers care and support for cancer patients and their families across north Wales.
Organisers say the tractor run offers a chance for farming and rural communities to come together while raising funds for causes that have a direct impact on local people.
The event has also become a popular fixture in the calendar for vintage tractor enthusiasts, with tractors of all makes and sizes expected to take part.
Entry details for participants
Entries are open to tractor owners who wish to take part in the run. The entry fee is £20 if submitted before May 20, rising to £25 for entries on the day.
Participants are asked to ensure their tractors are fully insured and road legal, and that drivers hold the appropriate licence.
All tractors are welcome, although larger machines will be positioned towards the rear of the convoy. Transport boxes and trailers with safe seating will be allowed, but standing passengers or bales will not be permitted.
Catering will be available at the start point and again during the lunch stop, with toilet facilities provided.
Late entries may still be accepted, although organisers say drivers submitting forms after the closing date may not receive a souvenir or have their name included in the official programme.
How to enter
Drivers wishing to take part can request an entry form or further information from event secretary Anne Bates by emailing [email protected] or calling 07721 910405.
Completed entry forms should be returned to Little Gigrin, Rhayader, Powys LD6 5NU.
Organisers say the run promises a relaxed day out for tractor enthusiasts and supporters alike, while helping to raise money for two important Welsh healthcare charities.
