The club is the oldest and longest surviving club in County Clare. In the early days the club promoted athletics for young men from the parish and the surrounding areas. This has continued successfully to the present day. In the 60's juvenile boys were catered for and in the 70's girls competitions were added. At the moment we cater for boys and girls from under 8 to veteran category. Almost all of our athletes now come from the parish and from the neighbouring parish of Cooraclare.

There have been many great champions in the club. In the 40's there was Patrick O'Dea from Lissycasey and Willie Carey from Moyasta. The great era for the club was in the 50's and 60's with senior cross-country winners, Morgan Walsh, Knockerra, Dan O'Halloran, Pat Kelly, Cree, and the great Pat Considine who won County, Provincial and National titles.

In 1967 a major divide occurred in athletics and in Clare Kilmihil AC decided to remain NACAI. The 70's and early 80's were relatively quiet for the club but at the end of the latter decade St. Michael's Vocational school built an athletics track which has been available to the club and which provides an excellent safe training ground for athletes. In the last decade we have become one of the strongest clubs in the county. The O'Gorman/ McNamara trophy which is presented to the best club in the county track championships was won in four consecutive years.

The arrival of the millennium has seen the club become part of the newly formed Athletic Association of Ireland and the end of the Athletic Split. Club member, John Devine was elected chairman of the Munster Juvenile Board and Michael Lillis became the first chairman of the new Clare board.

Training takes place on Tuesday and Friday nights at 7:00 p.m. at St Michael Community School grounds and all are welcome to join.
