The MRASA Toy Run occurs annually on the second Sunday in December. The MRASA organises and funds this event with incredible support from volunteers, sponsors and organisations who are proud and willing to be involved.
The MRASA Toy Run is considered the biggest in Australia, with thousands of motorcyclists on bikes decorated with tinsel and toys. The MRASA Toy Run will have a different format in 2024, with riders leaving from Victoria Park on a route to the Mt Osmond Overpass in the Adelaide Hills, then returning to Victoria Park.
Santa and SAPOL lead the ride, with MRASA marshals keeping things running smoothly. Spectators are encouraged to line the route as it is a spectacular experience for participants and onlookers alike. This is a time when motorcyclists from all walks of life come together to show their support for families and children in the community in need at Christmas.
Assembly will be on the Victoria Park pedal prix track from 9am onwards.
Victoria Park will have a festive atmosphere, with a live band, motorcycle club and industry displays, food stalls, children’s entertainment and a Show and Shine competition for the most popular bike. Gates open at 9am.
At the end of the ride all the toys are donated to Vinnies, who will then give them to South Australian children in need this Christmas. Vinnies will have their toy collection point at Victoria Park.
The Route
The MRASA Toy Run will leave Victoria Park at 11am, travel in convoy along Hutt Street, Glen Osmond Road and the South-Eastern Freeway to the Mt Osmond Overpass and arriving at back at Victoria Park at approximately 11.30am. The Toy Run distance is 16km.

About the Toy Run
Beginning in 1979, the MRASA aim is to hold a community event to celebrate motorcycling with a strong focus on assisting the children of families in need during the festive season. They have traditionally chosen St Vincent de Paul as a beneficiary of the thousands of toys and gifts which are distributed to families in need.
It’s more than a ride…. It’s for the kids.
In the spirit of the day, please take a gift for a child or a monetary donation, so Vinnies can give, on your behalf, to South Australian children in need this Christmas.
