Guthrie's Memorial

Guthrie's Memorial, Historic motorcycle racing memorial on Snaefell Mountain Road, Isle of Man.

Guthrie's Memorial is a monument situated on a famous motorcycle racing course on the Isle of Man, positioned at a distinctive point between mile markers 26 and 27. The site sits along the main road connecting two towns and bears an inscription commemorating a racer.

The monument was built in the 1930s following the death of a renowned racer and was funded through public donations. Over the following decades, the site underwent physical modifications to adapt to modern road conditions.

The memorial's name comes from Jimmie Guthrie of Hawick, who retired on lap five of the 1937 Senior TT at this bend on a Norton. Since 1961 his home club has held the Jimmie Guthrie Memorial Run, an 80 km ride in Scotland open to all, not a race. Riders still stop here because travel guides mention the stone.

The site sits directly on the main road between two towns and is easy to reach on foot from the roadway. Visitors should be aware this is a point on an active racing course, so caution around traffic is necessary.

The memorial was not rebuilt in 2004 or 2012: those works removed the western road embankment (winter 2004/2005), part of the north-eastern embankment (April 2009) and the stone TT marshals' shelter (winter 2012/2013). The 1939 monument itself, funded by public subscription, stands on a small walled plot as a man-high round mound of mortared island stone with a single stone stele rising from its top.
