Bikers rev up another successful animal run
Approximately 1 000 bikers and community members contributed to the success of the sixth Ekurhuleni SPCA Animal Run mass ride, which ended at the Boksburg City Stadium, on September 3.
This fun-filled day is hosted annually in aid of the Boksburg, Brakpan, Benoni, Kempton Park, Edenvale and Springs SPCAs.
The event kicked off at 9am with bikers travelling from Edenvale to Boksburg.
There was a trophy for the biggest club attending, metal and cloth badges, a flea market, a beer tent, food stalls, a raffle, a park-and-sell-your bike opportunity and many more activities.
Mustang Sally and The Dixie Hillbillies provided good music which contributed to the ‘lekker’ vibe on the day.
Donations of cash, pet food and blankets were collected and these will be distributed among the SPCAs.
Event coordinator Alta Gobey thanked all the bikers and members of the public who supported the event.
Springs SPCA members were the organisers of this year’s mass ride.
“It was the committee of the Animal Run 2017’s first year organising the event and it is with pride that we can say it was a great success,” said Gobey.
Congratulations to Hendrik Koekemoer, who won the ‘Booze Hamper’ raffle.
The lucky winners of the R10 000 and R20 000 cash prizes will be announced soon.
