Dale Farm’s Tractor & Truck Run returns to Ballymena for Cancer Focus NI – don’t miss it!

Dale Farm is once again gearing up to host its much-anticipated Tractor & Truck Run, taking place on Friday 4th July at Ballymena Livestock Market.

The event, which supports Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, promises a lively evening packed with community spirit, horsepower, and heartfelt fundraising.

Now a firm fixture in the summer calendar, the event brings together the farming community, local families, and supporters from across Northern Ireland for a shared cause: helping those affected by cancer.

Last year’s event saw over 150 vehicles rumbling through the countryside, raising an impressive £10,000 for the charity. Organisers are hoping to surpass that total this year with an even bigger turnout.

Registration for the event runs from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, with an entry fee of £25 per vehicle. Each registered driver will receive a meal voucher, a drink, and a serving of Dale Farm’s signature ice cream.

Gail McCullough from Dale Farm said:

“Our Tractor & Truck Run brings together our farmers, our employees and our community to support a cause that touches so many lives. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a tractor or truck, or simply coming along to enjoy the atmosphere, everyone is welcome.

“We’re proud to stand with Cancer Focus NI and help raise funds for the vital work they do across Northern Ireland. We hope to see families, friends, and the farming community out in force for what promises to be a great evening.”

Attendees can look forward to a festival-like atmosphere, complete with live music, great food, and activities suitable for the whole family.
