The route will be slightly different this year to avoid traffic disruption on the main Coleraine to Castlerock road.

This year, vehicles will head along Ballinrees Lane/Ballystrone Road to Windyhill Road, Blakes Road, Gorticavan Road turning right to Sconce Road, over Ballywildrick crossroads to Bratwell Road, then left onto Windyhill Road and down the incline of Knockmult hill.

Participants will enjoy a panoramic view of the North Coast, including Portstweart and Portrush to the left (and they might even catch a glimpse of the air show!). To the right will be the sweeping Antrim Hills - a fantastic way to finish off the tractor road run.

Both vintage and modern tractors will be very welcome, with vintage vehicles leaving the starting point first followed by the modern day tractors
