Northern Echo readers pictures of Durham Easter Egg Run 2026

And readers of The Northern Echo snapped their own brilliant photos of the event.

Hundreds of people lined the streets to see the record-breaking 1,264 bikers rev into Darlington, with riders dressed as Captain America, the Easter Bunny and Minions.

Bikers arrived at Darlington Memorial Hospital after setting off from Durham Tesco at Dragonsville at 10am.

The convoy took a break at the hospital to hand out Easter eggs to children, with some even getting to sit on bikes.

They set off again at 12pm, headed for University Hospital of North Durham to hand out more Easter eggs.

Organiser Graeme Mills said: “It was our biggest year ever, with 1,264 bikes. It has gone fantastic, that’s the only word I can say.

“I think this has been the biggest year for public support along the route. It makes it a spectacular event, and I am really pleased the public turned out to support in some not so good weather conditions too.”

Here are some brilliant photos from our readers.
