Glen Tay Block Race
The Glen Tay Block Race is held on the last Thursday in August.
We are sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-Upon-Tay Branch 244.
The race is back on for 2022! Finally!
This year, the race will be held on Thursday, August 25th. The start time is 6pm. Registration and the start line are directly in front of the Matheson House museum on Gore Street in historic Perth.
Results for the 2021 race are posted on…you guessed it…the Results page.

A big thank you to our volunteers who made it all happen last year.
