What is the Toy Run?
For more than two decades, the Rocky Mountain Harley Owners Group has sponsored The Toy Run to The Children's Hospital, an event that brings thousands of toys to the sick and injured children at The Children's Hospital of Denver.
This one-day event brings in so many toys that every child who stays at The Children's Hospital throughout the year is able to receive a gift donated by a participant in the Toy Run. Last year alone, the Rocky Mountain Harley Owners Group and other Toy Run participants donated so many toys that the toys had to be stored in a warehouse until the time that they were needed.
Over the years, the Toy Run has grown from a few hundred dedicated individuals to several thousand bikers and countless supporters … even if the weather is horrible.
Where and when is the Toy Run held?
The 23rd Annual Toy Run to The Children's Hospital will be held Sunday, December 2, 2007 at 11:00 AM with registration beginning at 9:00 AM. Please do not show up before 9:00 AM.
Unlike last year, the event will not be staged at Aspen Grove Shopping Center. Instead, the Toy Run to Children's Hospital will be staged at the Highlands Ranch Shea Center at 1745 Shea Center Drive, in Highlands Ranch. (get directions) This change has been made to accommodate the ever-growing number of people who wish to participate in this special event (in fact, the Toy Run has grown from approximately 500 people in 1999 to over 10,000 people in 2003 … more than a 2,000% increase in only five years!).
What if the weather is too bad to ride on the Toy Run?
Because so many sick and injured children look forward to this event, this ride will take place regardless of the weather. If it's too cold, snowy, or slick to ride your motorcycle, get in your car, come to the staging area, and join the procession anyway!
How do I register to go on the Toy Run?
Registration for the Toy Run will take place at the Highlands Ranch Shea Center on the day of the event (between 9:00 am and 11:00 am). There will be no preregistration this year.
How much does it cost to go on the Toy Run?
The only cost to participate in the 23rd Annual Toy Run to The Children's Hospital is a new, unwrapped toy. To get an idea of what the kids at The Children's Hospital need, download their wish list (requires Adobe Acrobat).
We hope to see you at the Toy Run!
