Annual Toy Run 2011

Just roll with it (and for a good cause too)

Check out what's happening at the 2013 Cape Town Toy Run!

---

This year sees the 29th Annual Toy Run and motorcyclists from around the Cape are invited to join their fellow riders on Sunday 27th November for a fun filled day of events whilst collecting toys and raising awareness for underprivileged children throughout the country.

Entry fee to Maynardville is a donation of at least on toy per person. Those who come empty handed

will not be allowed access to the end venue. Vendors will be at Maynardville for any last minute toy purchases.

An estimated 65 000 motorcycles turn out throughout the country with their bikes adorned with teddies and toys. The event itself normally last 6 to 7 hours, with stalls, exhibitors, live music, comedians and other entertainment lined up for the day.

Toys

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 & board games.

• Drawing & 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.

Routes

There will two routes this year one from Cape Town Market at Gunners Circle and the other from Pick ‘n Pay, Ottery in the southern suburbs – both routes will end at Maynardville where there will stalls, live music comedians and plenty of place to kick back and take the great day in.

Please note no alcoholic beverages or private catering to be brought into Maynardville.
