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.
