Watching the start last year.
The first event in 2012, organised by Knaresborough Young Farmers, included just 11 tractors.
When one of its members, Mike Spink, died in a road accident in 2017, the club decided to hold the event in his memory and raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, a cause close to Mike’s heart.
The tractor run has since grown to become a huge standalone event that is one of the highlights of the calendar.
