Thank you for all the feedback we have received regarding our Egg Run event, marshals and supporters. We work very hard leading up to the Egg Run to ensure the day goes as safely and as smoothly as possible. It’s worth every single second to have your support for such worthy and exceptional charities!
Each year we are met by hundreds of bikers and supporters at Davidstow Airfield at the start of a 60 miles route to our final destination – Bowden Derra who always give us a fantastic welcome and host the end event. We collect chocolate donations and from the £5 per bike at the start, corporate and masonic donations, to the raffles held, raise thousands of pounds for our charities each year.
We would also like to thank the many businesses across Cornwall and into Devon that contributed raffle prizes. Your generosity is always appreciated.
Thank you to the shops and businesses that contributed with raffle prizes

The History
Since 1997, an Egg Run has been held on Easter Sunday in Cornwall, and raised in total over £62,000 for local children’s charities.
Starting at Davidstow Airfield, motorcyclists gather to donate £5 per bike and chocolate eggs for children in care, and then start on a pre-planned and fully marshalled motorbike run around North Cornwall.
The Egg Run ends at Bowden Derra care facility, with live music, bar-b-que, stalls and a raffle.
Our charities include Children’s Hospice South West, who we have been supporting since conception of Little Harbour, their purpose built facility in St Austell, Cornwall that provides respite and end of life care to children with life limiting diagnosis. Most years we have donated £1,000 to Little Harbour per year.
The Egg Run also raises money for the learning support units (ARBs) of Camelford and St Stephens Launceston primary schools.
The history of the Egg Run in Cornwall dates back to 1997, when a trio of bikers had the good idea of organising a ride on Easter Sunday, collecting donations to local children’s charities and taking chocolate eggs to them. The run proved popular, and became an annual event. In 2001 the Moorlanders was formed to take responsibility of holding the Egg Run, and in 2012 the Widows Sons masonic motorcycle enthusiasts became involved.
