About 2,000 motorcyclists Sunday participated in the 33rd annual Toys for Tots Motorcycle Parade.

The 20-mile tract started at Dan Ryan Woods at 83rd and Western and ended at DeVry University at 3300 North Campbell.

Benefitting the Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots campaign, last year's ride netted 52,000 gifts. A count of this year's haul wasn't yet available, but 2,000 bikers took part, according to a parade spokesperson.
