Third bikers’ animal run to take place
The vision surrounding the Animal Run is to create an annual event that will raise awareness for the SPCA and the plight of animals.
Bikers, bike clubs, animal-lovers and families are invited to participate in the third annual Animal Run taking place on Sunday, August 31, at the Boksburg Cardinals Baseball Club.
The event is in aid of all SPCA East Rand branches and the hope is to collect as much pet food, pet blankets and donations as possible to support the cause.
“The event has grown in support over the last two years as a result of the biking community’s compassion and willingness to make a difference in the lives of animals in need. It has become an amazing event that simply must be attended if you are an animal-lover,” said organiser Mr Chris Badenhorst.
“The mass ride will start at 9am from the Checkers-Hyper in Edenvale, where participants can congregate and enjoy stunts from motorcycle rider Mr Nico Hesselman. From there, the planned mass ride will be marshalled by the Road Rangers and the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) to the Cardinals Baseball Club in Boksburg,” said Mr Badenhorst.
“The vision surrounding the Animal Run is to create an annual event that will raise awareness for the SPCA and the plight of animals. All proceeds and donations will be put to good use and we would like to urge the East Rand community to show their support,” said Mr Badenhorst.
The entrance fee for the Animal Run is R20 and people in attendance can enjoy various activities such a Kawasaki Ninja 250 raffle, lucky draw prizes and a dyno to test your bike’s horse power.
Various foods and a beer tent will be available. Music will be provided by Charly da Mota, DJ Louis and One for the Road Trucking.
New, full colour SPCA Animal Run 2014 t-shirts, clothing, metal badges, branded buffs and coffee mugs will be available on the day.
