Bikes are escorted by the police through downtown Tijuana in a parade of motorcycles. If you decide to ride in the Toy Run bring a toy or food. When you arrive in Tijuana the party begins.
descubretijuana.com has official information about the event.
Gabriel Gonzalez, recalls how he and a few others in the Solo Angeles motorcycle club began the tradition when they decided to bring a few toys to a Tijuana orphanage.
"We were 15 bikers, there were 15 toys and there were 30 kids," recalls Gonzalez, a truck driver who has ridden motorcycles for more than 35 years. "We gave them the toys and the kids who didn't get anything were left crying. We said "well, we'll make this grow for the following year." And the following year we were 50 bikers and there were just 35 kids. It was a really nice event and since then has grown a lot."
