Default Christmas Toy Runs

Here in Valdosta GA we have a toy run my wife and I ride every year. This year there were 2100 registered bikes. I know it's there biggest in my area. I,m wondering what the average attendance to the Toy Runs in other areas. To me 2100 seems impressive but it may be more common than I think. If you don't mind post your bike counts and where you are. Thanks in advance. Also my count can be verified at the Valdosta Daily Tines website Sunday 12:19:2015 edition of the paper

The Dallas / FW run was this weekend. I has not operated the past two years due to someone getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar so this was the first year after a a few off.
The estimates I hear are in the 1200 - 1500 range.
Looked like a helluvalot.

I just read that the Texas Toy Run in DFW this past weekend was over 12,000 bikes. It was a lot of fun.

We had 754 on our Roaddogs Toy Run in Billings, Montana which is a record for us, but you have to keep in mind we're a city of only 100,000 people and it is winter up here. We did manage to raise approx. $50,000 in toys.

Don't know the exact number, I think Charlotte, NC had 800 to 1000 bikes. That's my estimate.

South Florida has the largest one, approx 30,000 bikes at the Toys in The Sun Run in Ft Lauderdale. It's been running 25 + years. I've ridden in it twice which was once too many times (too slow, too hot, too many crazies who can't ride). Now we usually just go to the end point directly.
