Roads affected are Whitley Wood Lane, Lower Earley Way between The Black Boy Roundabout and The Showcase cinema; the A329 Reading Road between the Showcase and Shute End and Rectory Road and Wiltshire Road to High Close School.
These closures will affect traffic on adjacent roads too.
This is the 34th anniversary of the Toy Run, and countless children have benefitted at Christmas from the toys and gifts brought by the bikers.
