These are the 90 teams who are set to take to the streets for The Great Knaresborough Bed Race this weekend

The ever-popular Knaresborough Bed Race will return to the town this weekend and we take a look at the teams that will be taking part.

This historic event will return to the streets of Knaresborough on Saturday, June 8 and has been held every year since 1966 apart from three years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

It is a mighty pageant of decorated beds, passengers and runners, combined with a gruelling athletic contest around a course of 2.4 miles.

Organised by volunteers from the Knaresborough Lions, the event helps to raise much-needed funds for local charities and community causes.
