The theme of this year's race is Healthy Hearts. Yorkshire Young Farmers have teamed up with Heart Research UK to promote the healthy heart message to the rural young of Yorkshire. In addition to the traditional mascot favourites in attendance, the healthy heart promotion is encouraging YFC clubs and schools to create their own mascot on a healthy heart theme to enter into the race.
