What a view! 🚜🚛💚

We’re absolutely loving this incredible drone footage captured by Dee Irvine at the iconic Browns Bay section of the Islandmagee Tractor & Truck Run route. What a fantastic perspective of the convoy and the stunning coastline!

A huge thank you to Dee for sharing these amazing shots with us—we really appreciate your time and talent in capturing such a special part of the run.

We hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as we have! Feel free to like, share, and tag anyone you spot along the route. 👀

🚜🌟 Our Tractor Run Has Gone International… Well, Almost! 🌟🚜

It seems the word about Islandmagee Tractor & Truck Run has made it across the water! We were delighted to meet these lovely people who travelled all the way from Lancaster just to see our tractor run. How amazing is that?

They happened to come across the tractor run last year, enjoyed it so much, and made a point of keeping an eye out for this year’s event so they could come back again. What a wonderful compliment and such a kind gesture!

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who comes along each year to support our tractor run, whether you travel from near or far. Your support, enthusiasm, and encouragement mean so much to us and help make the day such a success.

A huge thank you to these wonderful visitors and to everyone who joined us. We can’t wait to do it all again next year! 🚜❤️

Deborah & Rosie from Islandmagee Tractor & Truck Run were delighted to present £2,842 to Islandmagee Primary School, helping to support the pupils and their learning environment.

We loved joining your assembly, thanking the children for coming along to the Tractor & Truck Run, and hearing all about the fun they had on the day. It was wonderful to see so much excitement and we are delighted to be able to give back to the school and support the young people in our community.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Islandmagee Primary School for their support with this event. We especially appreciated the pupils coming along and performing at the Tractor & Truck Run — they were a fantastic addition to the evening and helped make the event even more special for everyone who attended. Country Roads was fab! 🎵🎤🤠 Well done kids! 👏🏻

🚜👏 A Huge Thank You to Our Vehicle Parking Team! 👏🚜

As we reflect on another fantastic Islandmagee Tractor & Truck Run, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to our dedicated vehicle parking team — Andrew McFarland, Harry Magill, Tommy Gray, and Jaimie Forsythe.

This is no easy job, especially considering we
couldn’t use the field as it was water logged. The guys pulled the parking off so well, working as a team and getting everyone parked up safely.

A very special mention must go to Andrew McFarland. Quite simply, our run would not be possible without him. Not only does Andrew take the lead in parking and organising all the vehicles on the day, but he also plays a major role behind the scenes helping to plan the route. His hard work, commitment, and attention to detail are invaluable to the success of the event. Thank you, Andrew, for everything you do.

We would also like to give a special thank you to Stuarty Dick, who is always on hand to help us throughout the tractor run. Your support and willingness to lend a hand whenever needed are greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your dedication, hard work, and continued support in making the Islandmagee Tractor & Truck Run such a success. 🚜💙

👨‍🍳🥖A very special thank you to Jason from Tweedie Pies, Whitehead.

He certainly wouldn’t be looking any recognition, but we feel it’s important to acknowledge the incredible support he has given to the Islandmagee Tractor & Truck Run.

Jason not only provided the hot plate for the event, but he also generously sponsored all the sausages and hot dog baps. His support, kindness and willingness to help are greatly appreciated by us and by everyone involved in making the run such a success.

Community events like ours simply wouldn’t be possible without the backing of local businesses and people like Jason.

Thank you, Jason, for your generosity and continued support. It really does mean a lot. 🚜🚛👏
