24th Annual Jim Rosenkrans Memorial Toy Run

Jim’s Harley-Davidson of St. Petersburg calls this the largest police-escorted motorcycle ride in the West Central Florida area. Over the years, this charitable event has raised more than $1 million benefiting Pinellas County schools.

The route heads along the Pinellas Beaches to Pass-A-Grille and back. All participants receive free food (barbeque, beans, and slaw) and can enjoy cold beer, live music, a 50/50, vendors and a silent auction.

Pre-registration ends at 9am. Kickstands go up at 9:30am.

Each participant must bring either a $15 cash donation or a new, unwrapped toy. Those who donate four cans of food receive a commemorative drink coozie.
