Toy Run is synonymous with a great day out for the entire family and comprises of entertainment, stalls including food stands and events. The Toy run is identified with the teddy bear insignia and although most participants donate soft, cuddly toys there is also a desperate need for toys/gifts for older children:
• Sporting equipment – cricket bats, balls of any type, tennis rackets etc.
• Jewellery and craft kits, toiletries & make up for older girls.
• Puzzles and board games.
• Drawing and art equipment and fun stationery.
• Books are welcome although they will be distributed to the libraries at the children’s homes rather than to an individual child.
• PLEASE – no toy guns of any sort – these will not be distributed.

Launched in 1982 simultaneously in Cape Town and Johannesburg by the Italian Motorcycle Owners Club (IMOC), the Toy Run™ is now the largest motorcycling-related charity event in Southern Africa and arguably the world. A Toy Run™ is held in over nineteen centres in the Southern African region, hosted by local motorcycle clubs and other organisations, with the invaluable assistance of the commercial sector.
More than an estimated 65,000 motorcyclists turned out across the region with toys of all descriptions adorning their bikes, to make the holidays a little brighter for disadvantaged children of all races in orphanages, shelters, homes and hospitals throughout the country’s communities. The aims of the Toy Run are to improve and enhance the image of motorcyclists and to collect and distribute toys and gifts to less privileged children up to 18 years.
