2026 Bundaberg Salvation Army Motorcycle Toy Run
Motorcycle riders are invited to get involved in a Christmas tradition that gives back to the community, with the 2026 Annual Salvation Army Motorcycle Toy Run returning on Saturday 5 December.
The annual ride brings local motorcyclists together to help make Christmas brighter for children in need. Riders are asked to bring a generous donation of a new, unwrapped toy, which will be gifted to a child who might otherwise go without this Christmas.
The morning begins at The Basin in Bargara, where riders will gather from 8am before standing up at 9am to begin the ride. The group will make a short stop at Kendalls Flats to regroup, departing at 9:30am for the next part of the journey.
From there, riders will travel through Bundaberg’s CBD before heading out onto the Ring Road and turning left onto McCarthys Road, continuing to the Salvation Army Hall.
Once the ride arrives, participants are invited to stay and enjoy a sausage sizzle and a drink. There will also be an opportunity to win some great prizes, generously donated by local businesses.
Beyond the motorcycles and the ride itself, the event is about coming together to support local families and help ensure children experiencing hardship can enjoy a little Christmas happiness. Donating a new toy is a simple way for riders to contribute to a cause that makes a difference in the community.
All motorcycle riders are welcome to attend and support the annual fundraiser.
Please note that although the event has been shared on Facebook by Bundaberg Harley-Davidson for riders’ convenience, it is organised separately and is not run by the dealership.
