Scottish Disability Sport Tayside Regional Development Manager, Graeme Doig tells us:

“Perth Strathtay Harriers have a fantastic track record for encouraging people of all ages and abilities into Athletics participation and developing Pathways to progress in the sport. Last year, the club won the Scottish Athletics Janice Eaglesham Para Development Club of the Year award. As the title suggests, it celebrates the clubs integrated approach to training and developing Para athletes. With Pathways into the Harriers weekly session, this event is fantastic opportunity to try new skills, meet new people, gain confidence and have FUN!”
