TOY RUN LEAVES AT 12 NOON
This is a FREE EVENT, but DONATIONS will be greatly appreciated on the day and we can now accept CARD DONATIONS.
The Route is L PLATE FRIENDLY, with Police Motorcycle escort to block all major junctions and roundabouts.
ALL Bikes, Trikes and Scooters are VERY WELCOME, please feel free to SHARE this event to everyone on 2 or 3 wheels.
FAQ's:
Toys
Any donated Toys must be New & Unused, Unwrapped and BS Kite Marked. The hospital has a preference for ‘hard’ toys (not Teddy bears etc.) as these are easier to keep clean. If in doubt, please make a cash or card donation.
Fancy Dress
Fancy Dress is really appreciated on the day and you are very welcome to wear a Santa outfit.
Ride Speed
The speed of the ride is determined by the Police outriders (not Pinkertons). If we get a large number of bikes in the convoy, the Police bikes will keep everyone moving at a slow pace. This is to ensure the Police outriders can block all the junctions and then get back to the front of the group to continue blocking the upcoming junctions.
