Bikers display giving spirit in 42nd annual Southern Oregon Toy Run Updated: Dec 03, 2022 03:48 PM A A 4 View all photos The annual Southern Oregon Toy Run, held Saturday in Medford, is a spectacle that has been raising money for charity and gathering toys for children for 42 years. When the hundreds of bikers thunder past, on their way from TouVelle Lodge to the Eagles Lodge, it takes about 40 minutes for all of them to pass. Every year the event raises between $16,000 and $20,000.
