"We look forward to seeing the community come together for a worthy cause and an unforgettable event."

Last year, the Tractor and Truck run raised an incredible €52,000 for a local cancer charity, which they attribute to the amazing support from our community.

"For those who can’t attend but would still like to support, online donations can be made through the following link. 

The Fishertown Tractor & Truck Run was established in 2008 by local men aiming to raise funds for a local cancer charity.

The day promises music on the night from Big Generator at the Final Furlong, fantastic food, a bouncy castle and a fun area for kids.
