Hundreds of bikers take part in Squires Egg Run 2026 today

The Squires Egg Run 2026 sets off from Squires Motorbike Café near Selby and heads across the county to Pickering.

The annual rideout, involving motorbikes, trikes and scooters, benefits Yorkshire charities with participants asked to make cash donations and optional Easter eggs on arrival.

It will be directed and managed by marshals in hi-vis vests along a designated and fully marked route.

For the first time, North Yorkshire Police will be attending the event with police motorbikes, cars, a trailer, and a new high‑visibility digital display truck that will show safety messages to motorcyclists and other road users throughout the day.

Driving the route, the truck will display clear, timely reminders about safe riding, pre‑ride checks and the shared responsibility all road users have in keeping each other safe.

It aims to provide a visible reminder of the importance of road safety at the very start of the motorbike season in North Yorkshire when significantly more riders will head out onto the county’s 6,000 miles of road.

Marshals in orange hi‑vis will manage the fully marked route, with video recording in operation. Riders are asked to respect other road users and keep noise low through villages. The run concludes at Galtres Retreat with marshal guidance.

The police presence aims to ensure everyone gets home safely – motorcyclists are disproportionately represented in the number of road casualties and fatalities.

Inspector Clive Turner, of North Yorkshire Police’s Roads Policing Group, said: “The start of the biking season is always an exciting time, but sadly it’s also when we tend to see an increase in serious collisions.

“The digital display truck gives us a new, highly visible way to reach riders with simple but vital safety messages.

“Our aim isn’t to spoil anyone’s fun – it’s to help make sure everyone gets home safely.

“This Sunday’s activity marks the launch of our wider engagement plan with the motorcycle community for the busy summer months ahead”.
