An iconic annual event that takes place across Norfolk and Suffolk has raised more than £125,000 for charity.
The Pink Ladies’ Tractor Road Run sees hundreds of people dressed in pink riding a convoy of tractors swathed in pink on a 20-mile route through south Norfolk and north Suffolk.
This year's event took place on 7th July.
Now, event organisers have revealed the event raised £127,150, which will be donated to Cancer Research UK's breast cancer appeal.
The first run took place in 2004, and this year’s collection takes the total raised by the event to more than £1,224,150.
Organiser Annie Chapman said: “Much to my amazement, we had a stunning number of entries this year. I really thought the numbers would drop back as last year was such a special event with the 20th anniversary and the incentive to reach the £1million - which we smashed!!
“Despite slightly inclement weather, it only really rained at lunchtime, we actually had a great run! There were 191 ladies on 178 tractors and of those wonderful ladies, 63 of them were new to the run!
“Thank you to everybody for whatever you have done for this tractor run, none of it would happen without a full team effort.”
