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.
NEWS!! We will SOON be accepting registrations…but not quite yet!
We are excited to announce that The Glen Tay Block Race committee is actively planning to hold our late summer classic race. It will be run on August 26th – the last Thursday in August. We are in consultation with our local health unit to establish the rules and protocols to hold a safe race for everyone. Stay tuned for the details.
Since Ontario is currently in Step Three of the Roadmap to Reopen, we are allowed to hold outdoor events. The gathering limit is set at 100 people. We will cap the number of participants so that the number of volunteers and runners combined does not exceed provincial gathering limits.
Keep training and stay tuned.
