Edmonton Motorcycle Toy Run
In 1984, the first annual Edmonton Motorcycle Toy Run in support of Santas Anonymous started at Westmount Centre and ended at Capilano Mall. An estimated 250 motorcyclists collected toys for underprivileged children in the Edmonton area.
The run became an annual event that always starts or ends at Capilano Mall.
Most years, 2,000 to 2,500 motorcycles participate.

Famous quotes containing the words motorcycle, toy and/or run:
“Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“The world of men show like a comedy without laughter: populations, interests, government, history; ‘t is all toy figures in a toy house.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.... I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends ... and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.”
—John Lennon (1940–1980)
