Club History - Civil Service Harriers Athletics Club
| 1867 | Civil Service Harriers A.C. remains Ireland's oldest athletic club. Founded in 1867 to compete in the Trinity College Races ( See the "History of Irish Sport" by Dr Cyril White ) and ("Irish Marathon Legends" by Noel Henry - which put the founding of the club in the 1850s.) |
| 1925 | After the Civil War the club was reformed by the late Frank Duffy and Stephen Hutton. This year we host the 32nd running of the Frank Duffy 10 Mile Road Race in his honour. |
| 1934 | A split in Irish Athletics - Civil Service sided with the A.A.V, as did most Dublin Clubs. |
