Event

The Buttonhole Run

Wax your moustaches. Book your shampoo and set. The Spring Edition of the Buttonhole Run is just round the corner!

For this edition we re-live the glory days of steam. Leaving from Darlington's own recycled and vintage bicycle shop, BikeStop, the Buttonhole Run will explore the proud railway heritage of the town, taking in two historic stations and tracing the course of the world's first passenger steam railway. After twenty gentle miles at most we will retire to the warm hospitality of Mr Hutton's Barbers and Bar to relax, recouperate, share stories and make merry.

Your £10 entry includes the ride, a buttonhole flower arrangement, a glass of bubbly (or alternative) at the finish, and something to nibble on as we chit-chat.

All riders, styles of dress and types of bicycle are welcomed and expected. Prizes will be awarded for Best Dressed and Best Bicycle, so please, dress you best and polish your chrome- you could be rewarded.

We roll out on Sunday 17th April at 11am, to return at about 3pm. Look smart, chums. Tally ho!
