The Pontfaen YFC Illuminated Charity Tractor and 4x4 Run will take place on Thursday, December 21.
The much-anticipated event will begin at Brecon Market at 5:15pm (tractors to meet from 5pm) where the judging will take place, before departing at 5.45pm.
The run will conclude at Brecon High School at 8:15pm.
Scarlets and Wales prop Wyn Jones will be in attendance to judge the Best Decorated Tractor and Best Dressed Driver, with £100 vouchers given by Wynnstay on offer.
Over the past two years, the tractor runs have been remarkable successes, raising funds for charitable causes close to the hearts of local people.
In 2021, the event raised £4,300 for Macmillan Cancer Support and Wales Air Ambulance, and in 2022, more than £5,000 was donated to The DPJ Foundation and Wales Air Ambulance.
