Ireland Oldest road race "The Clonliffe 2"

2011-06-15T14:14:00.000-07:00

Ran inIreland’s oldest road race the Clonliffe 2. Time 12:37! Best 2 mile time so happy man!

The Clonliffe 2 Mile has a unique history since its first running back in the 1890s.

Clonliffe Harriers itself was founded by six young men at a meeting in the front parlour of ‘Knotts Cottage’ which was situated on the Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin back in 1886, this year Clonliffe is celebrating its 125th anniversary and the staging of the Clonliffe 2 is an integral part of those anniversary celebrations.

The race follows it ‘traditional’ point to point route starting in Finglas and then proceeding down the Finglas to Glasnevin Road, past Glasnevin Cemetery turning left and then finishing at Prospect Square Glasnevin at the ‘Old Gate’to what was then Prospect Cemetery (now of course Glasnevin Cemetary).

The race finishes at the licensed premises of Kavanaghs – more commonly known as the ‘Gravediggers’. The Gravediggers itself is significant in Clonliffe’s history as the club availed of rooms above the licensed premises in the early 1900s for dressing rooms and as a base. Fittingly in Clonliffe’s centenary year in 1986 Mr. Eugene Kavanagh began his sponsorship of the Clonliffe 2 which has continued for the past quarter of a century.
