The Scurry Gold Cup is an original classic greyhound racing competition currently run at Dunstall Park Greyhound Stadium.

Quick Facts Class, Inaugurated ...

It was first run at Clapton Stadium from 1928[1] until its closure in 1973.[2] The event moved to Slough Stadium in 1974 which consequently closed in 1986.[3] The third move resulted in Catford Stadium hosting the race from 1987 until yet another closure forced the race to end in 2002. After a two-year wait, a new home was finally found at Perry Barr Stadium until 2009 when the GRA switched the competition to sister track Belle Vue Stadium.[4][5][6][7]

With the closure of Belle Vue in 2020, the future of the competition was unknown but the British Greyhound Breeders Forum stepped in to sponsor the race (held at Harlow Stadium) before it returned to Perry Barr in 2021.[8] The competition switched to Dunstall Park in 2025, when the Arena Racing Company moved the greyhound operation from Birmingham to Wolverhampton.[9]
