The 7th Annual Centenary Thurles Golden Mile 2012 took place on the 7th of July in Moyne Sportsfield for North Tipperary Hospice. A feature of the previous renewals of the race was that no participants had won the race twice. Once again the handicapper stayed ahead of the former winners and victory for 2012 went to Ultan Nesbitt. Following him home on this occasion was Padriag Chrone and 3rd place to Tom Ryan.
