Griffith Avenue Mile ticket sales open

The Griffith Avenue Mile 2024 will take place on Griffith Avenue in Drumcondra on Sunday, September 22, and will feature 1,800 runners and walkers of all abilities.

Confirming the 2024 event, the Griffith Avenue Mile team announced Catherina McKiernan, Olympian, multiple world cross country silver medallist, European cross country gold medallist and London marathon winner, to name but a few of her achievements, as their official race starter.

Now an established highlight of the Irish athletics and local community calendars, a team of local volunteers and Marino Athletics Club are proud to bring the Griffith Avenue Mile event to our local neighbourhood.

The event gets bigger and better each year, and this year will be no different featuring 1,800 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, former indoor mile world record holder, world 5000m and European indoor 1500m champion, Eamonn Coghlan as our Race Ambassador.

A full day of activities is being planned including a post-race event.

The race is open to those of all abilities – walkers and runners, fun and elite, young and old.

Professor Daire Keogh, President of Dublin City University said “We are delighted to once again be part of this great community event.

“Last year we pledged our long-term support to The Griffith Avenue Mile, as part of our wider involvement in Irish athletics.

“The Griffith Avenue Mile prides itself on being an event for all, something that is a reflection of the values of DCU.

“I wish all of the participants this year the best of luck.”

Race Ambassador Eamonn Coghlan stated “We have been inspired and excited watching Team Ireland compete on the World stage in the Olympic Games.

“It is events such as the Griffith Avenue Mile that can start careers in the sport.

“Hopes are high that 2024 might see the elusive 4-minute-mile broken and we may also see some future stars of LA 2028 or Brisbane 2032 lining up on Griffith Avenue”.
