Star Bikers further explained the operational challenges of organizing such a large event, stating, “We are dependent on the time available to prepare and distribute the eggs and toys.” They assured the public that traffic disruptions from the parade would be minimal, lasting no longer than 20-25 minutes in most cases.
The charity’s mission is clear: “It’s about giving something back, making everyone smile, and actually doing some good in a world that is currently anything but good.” They have urged those unable to attend the run to utilize collection points for donations.
