History
Who would have ever thought that a small town like Port Alberni could hold such a large event as the Toy Run has become.
Many years have passed and we would like to thank past Toy Run members, all merchants who donated to the cause and most of all, to all the riders who came out rain or shine or snow to participate and made it the success it has become (for if not for them the Toy Run would not have come into existence in the valley).
In the pages to follow, you can scroll back through time from the present to the very first Toy Run of Port Alberni.
It all began when a few people got together one day and decided that if other motorcyclists can make kids happy, why don't we do the same. So, with the help of some of our local merchants and the support from the Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) and the Salvation Army, it all came together to become the amazing annual event it is now.
The 40th Annual Toy Run was another successful event.
This year saw 568 riders participating and making this another great weekend "for the kids".
The weather was warm and sunny, just right for a good Toy Run.
While the weather was not fully cooperating with everyone, 500 riders still came out to support the kids and still have a good weekend.
While the weather may have been a bit showery, it was still a good weekend.
2014 was one of the biggest years in the history of the Port Alberni Toy Run. There were 1400 riders participating to make for a very successful weekend.
