Padraig Conlon 17 May 2023

The Griffith Avenue Mile 2023 will take place on Griffith Avenue in Drumcondra on September 17th 2023 featuring 2,000 runners and walkers of all abilities.

Confirming the 2023 event, the Griffith Avenue Mile team say they are delighted to announce a five year partnership with Dublin City University to ensure the long term future of what has become the most unique road race in Dublin city.

DCU have been supporters of the event since its return in 2019 and this renewed long term partnership establishes the Griffith Avenue Mile on the calendar for years to come.

DCU lead one of the best and most successful University Athletics programmes in the country and some of their elite athletes will take part in the race with news of this to follow.

The All Hallows Area Association and Marino Athletics Club are proud to bring the Griffith Avenue Mile event to our local neighbourhood again for the third time since its revival in 2019.

The event gets bigger and better each year, and this year will be no different featuring 2,000 runners and walkers of all abilities, showcasing the beautiful Griffith Avenue – a unique double tree lined avenue in Europe and the perfect setting for a community day out, or a more challenging run for those looking to set a time on a one mile road course.

  • The race is made possible by our strategic partner, Dublin City University and is supported by Dublin City Council Sport & Wellbeing Partnership and our sponsors
  • The event is officially supported by governing body Athletics Ireland
  • We are honoured to confirm Olympian and former indoor mile world record holder Eamon Coghlan as our Race Ambassador
  • A full day of activities is being planned including a post race event
