HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 2025 Reno County Toy Run filled Hutchinson streets and local charities’ donation boxes Sunday, with organizers reporting hundreds of riders, nearly sold-out merchandise and more than a thousand toys collected for area children.
Early totals from the event show 568 motorcycles took part in the parade, which began at Salty Cycles and finished at the Moose Lodge. Riders and community members donated at least 1,492 toys, with additional totals still being counted.
Organizers said 81 bicycles were donated, along with enough toys to help stock multiple local charities for the holiday season. The chili feed at the Moose Lodge served 178 bowls of chili.
Supporters also snapped up Toy Run gear. All of the event buttons were sold and all but two shirts were purchased.
“Seriously, thank you to our community. You made this all possible,” organizers said in a statement posted after the run.
The Toy Run, which featured Santa leading the parade, benefits several local organizations that serve children and families in need. Final fundraising and donation totals are expected to be released once all counts are complete.
