About the race
The Clonliffe 2 Mile Road Race is a historic road race first run in 1891 and described as the oldest continuous road race in Ireland. The event is contested over a distance of 2 Miles and combines an invitational/club tradition with an open road race and a concurrent fun run.
The event has been held on several North Dublin routes over its history, including traditional point-to-point routes finishing at John Kavanagh’s The Gravediggers in Glasnevin and periods when the race started and finished at Morton Stadium, Santry. The race program includes individual prizes for senior and junior men and women and age‑group masters, chip timing, and a commemorative tee shirt issued to all entrants. The Kavanagh family are long‑term sponsors of the race.
Recent editions list winners and venue notes for each year, and organisers provide pre-race check‑in at the Clonliffe Harriers clubhouse in Morton Stadium and evening check‑in at St Vincent’s CBS School, Glasnevin. Results are published after the event and a course map is maintained for the two mile road race and fun run. The 136th Clonliffe 2 is scheduled for May 2027 with the date to be confirmed.
