Support the SPCA and enjoy a day of fun
Bike clubs and bikers, fanatics and families are invited to participate in the event.
The fifth annual SPCA Animal Run will be held on Sunday, August 28 at the Cardinals’ Baseball Club (next to the Boksburg Stadium).
The event is in aid of SPCA branches on the East Rand, and the societies involved in the organisation of this year’s event are Edenvale, Benoni, Boksburg, Brakpan, Germiston, Kempton Park, Nigel and Springs.
The hope is to raise funds and to collect as much pet food, pet blankets and donations as possible to support this worthwhile cause.
Bike clubs and bikers, fanatics and families are invited to participate in the event.
“The support was amazing last year with more than 2 000 bikes from more than 20 clubs taking part in the run and more than 2 500 people attending the end event, raising desperately needed funds,” said organiser, Chris Badenhorst.
The mass ride for motorcycles to the end venue will start at 9am from Checkers-Hyper in Edenvale.
The mass ride will again be marshalled by experienced volunteers and the Ekurhuleni Metro traffic police to the Cardinals’ Baseball Club in Jubilee Road, Boksburg.
“Unfortunately due to Metro restrictions, we regret that no off-road bikes are allowed to take part in the ride this year. All roadworthy bikes of any size are welcome,” said Badenhorst.
“The on-going tough economic environment has many families reeling from the consequences, which unfortunately amplifies the plight of our furry friends significantly,” said Badenhorst.
“The need for the SPCA to intervene has never been greater and we simply cannot cope with the sheer volume of abandoned and abused animals requiring our help.”
“The hosting of the Animal Run is to create and raise awareness for the SPCA and the plight of animals.
“All proceeds and donations will be put to very good use,” added Badenhorst.
R40 will get you into the grounds which will be transformed into a fun destination complete with a beer tent, a variety of food stalls, a flea market, and a bike and cash raffle.
“Although this day is all about the animals it’s not a day for the animals and we ask that animals not be brought to the end venue,” said Badenhorst.
