The convoy headed to North Durham Hospital and Darlington Memorial Hospital where they delivered Easter eggs.
Eggs were also sent to women's refuges, housing associations and other hospitals in the region.
A record breaking year but next year could be even bigger
Graeme Mills , one of the people behind the event, said: "It was a record-breaking year and 867 bikes were in attendance.

"The atmosphere was great as was the weather and the crowds lined our route waving, clapping and cheering us on."
Huge support for charities
Bikers from Sunderland, Seaham and Dawdon were among those who took part.
The Egg Run in 2024 also backed charities including Miles for Men/Walk for Women; Paws Up; The Rainbow Trust; and the Great North Air Ambulance Service. Organisers are already turning their attentions to the 2025 event to make it even bigger.
