Bikers handed thousands of toys to Cape Town’s underprivileged children at this year’s annual Toy Run Charity event.
More than 6 500 bikers converged on the 24th annual Toy Run yesterday.
Starting points for the run were at Ratanga Junction, at Century City, and the Hypermarket centre in Ottery.
It ended with the handing over of toys at the Maynardville.
Mike Clark, the spokesperson for the Toy Run Charity Trust told the Cape Times that they are hoping to bring in about 14 000 toys.
Last year the event brought in a record of 13 600 toys and were distributed to 122 beneficiaries around Cape.
The event had been organised by the Italian Motorcycle Owners Club (IMOC) for 24 years.
Toy Runs are now organised by local motorcycle clubs and other organisations.
More than 50 000 bikers participate in the event every year.
