Reading Christian Motorcyclists are set to hold their annual Reading Toy Run on Sunday.
The event will see more than 2,000 riders in Santa costumes travel in convoy from Shinfield to Wokingham, carrying toys for disadvantaged children and teenagers.
It will set off from Wood Consulting and Engineering, formerly AMEC Foster Wheeler and Shire Hall, along Lower Earley Way to the Winnersh roundabout, and then along Reading Road into Wokingham.
The procession will end at Barnardo’s High Close School in Wiltshire Road, where all the gifts are delivered.
Rolling road closures will be in place between 1.45pm and 3pm, and hundreds of people are expected to line the route to watch.
Organiser Denis Denmead said: ““If you’ve never seen the run before, it’s quite a sight, and great fun.”
The first toy run took place in 1985 when a small group of Christian riders decided to combine their faith and their passion for motorbikes to help children in need..
This year’s Reading Toy Run will take place on Sunday, December 3, starting at 1pm. Roads are usually closed for no more than an hour or so, until the procession has passed..
