Launched in 1982 simultaneously in Cape Town and Johannesburg by the Italian
Motorcycle Owners Club (IMOC), the Toy Run® is now an international event held
throughout the world and is the largest motorcycling-related charity event in
South Africa. A Toy Run® is held in over a dozen centres in South Africa,
hosted by local motorcycle clubs and other organisations with the invaluable
assistance of the commercial sector. 2007 saw the Cape Town event grow yet
again with more than 24000 toys being collected by Cape Town alone, and
distributed to over 122 organisations throughout the Cape and South Africa.
The IMOC Cape Town Toy Run® Trust Committee is assisted in the organisation by
the Italian Motorcycle Owners Club of Cape Town
This year is the 26th Annual Toy® Run and we
look forward to again building on the foundation of support and goodwill that
makes this event so special.
