Motorcyclists to ride again for children
The 33rd annual Gauteng Motorcycle Toy Run will be taking to the streets this Sunday.
Carnival City has pledged its support for the 33rd annual Gauteng Motorcycle Toy Run, providing a start venue for the hundreds of motorcyclists that will participate in the mass ride to Benoni Northerns Athletics Club on November 29.
This will be the first time that Carnival City has provided a start venue for the event and the fifth consecutive year that the Benoni Northerns Athletics Club has hosted the finish.
Several biker clubs will be participating in the mass ride from four venues in the north, south, east and west of Gauteng to collect gifts and toys for underprivileged children.
Each year some 20 000 bikers participate in the mass ride and over 25 000 gifts are collected to be distributed to service clubs and children-related charity organisations so that the children can celebrate Christmas with a gift.
The mass ride from Carnival City will commence at 9am.
With hundreds of bikes revving and riders laden with toys, it is a spectacle that the community is encouraged to come down and see.
People not participating in the mass ride are also encouraged to visit Benoni Northerns Athletics Club to watch the bikers arrive and join in the fun.
There will be over 100 stalls selling food and crafts, a sound stage with two live bands, entertainment and a beer garden.
The entrance fee is a toy.
Ideally, educational toys or toiletries should be donated. No toy guns or knives will be accepted. People are urged to bear in mind that battery operated toys are of little use once the batteries die.
