The grand total of last year’s ‘Rudolph’s Run’ has been revealed - and it’s cleared the £50,000 mark.
More than 200 decorated tractors toured towns and villages across the Aire Valley on Sunday 21 December to fundraiser for Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
The convoy travelled through Ilkley before finishing in Skipton, with spectators lining the route to see tractors adorned with Christmas lights and seasonal displays.

The event, organised by the Lothersdale Agricultural Discussion Group, has now raised £149,169 since it began five years ago.
A spokesperson for the event said:
"We would once again like to extend a huge thank you to all participants, volunteers, spectators and businesses that have supported and donated towards our two worthy causes: Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice and Yorkshire Air Ambulance. We are truly grateful."
Organisers confirmed that the sixth Rudolph’s Run will be held in December 2026.
