On Sunday, December 11, the 26th Annual ABATE Motorcycle Toy Run will take place on the streets of Tulsa, beginning at 5300 South Riverside Drive, and cross 15th street from Denver Avenue to Memorial Drive.

The Toys for Tots fundraiser event begins at 1:00 PM. The staging area (northbound lanes on Riverside Drive between 68th Street and 53rd Street) will be closed from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM.

The entire route the 5,000 motorcycles will exclusively use are the northbound lanes on Riverside Drive from 53rd Street to Denver Avenue, the northbound lanes on Denver Avenue from Riverside Drive to 15th Street, the eastbound lanes on 15th Street from Denver Avenue to Memorial Drive and the southbound lanes on Memorial Drive from 15th Street to 27th Street.

All vehicles attempting to cross this motorcycle route will be restricted, stopped, and/or delayed for up to two hours. Vehicles may travel in the opposite direction of the route. Motorcycles will be so concentrated at times it will be impossible to allow any traffic at all, including emergency vehicles, up to two hours.
