The Edmonton Toy Run has been making a difference in the lives of children since 1984. Traditionally two radio groups, NARC and the Sherwood Park Radio Club (SPRC), have suported this event with NARC providing coverage along the route and SPRC managing the pre race staging area. At this time, it seems only SPRC is engaged and will be providing assistance at the staging area (Blackjacks Roadhouse in Nisku).
The route starts at Blackjacks Roadhouse in Nisku with riders arriving between 9:00AM and 10:45AM. Santa then leads the ride to the Edmonton Inn and Conference Centre on Kingsway at 11:00AM. It's an impressive (and loud) drone as hundreds for motorcycles, trikes, etc. leave the staging area.
