The seventh event of Marble League 2019 was held on the 10th of May 2019. The event was the Block Pushing.

Event

Block Pushing returned to the Marble League but is slightly different to Block Pushing in 2017. Two teams roll down a track into a block and push it as far as they can. The teams will then push again in the opposite lane and their highest result will be their score for the event. The team with the highest score wins the gold medal. There are no semifinals or finals. The blocks have also been made lighter for the safety of the competitors.

Results

• Gold: Midnight Wisps
• Silver: Team Galactic
• Bronze: Mellow Yellow
