Abstract: Answering a question raised by Dudek and Pral{}at, we show that if pnightarrowinfty, w.h.p.,~whenever G=G(n,p) is 2-coloured, there exists a monochromatic path of length n(2/3+o(1)). This result is optimal in the sense that 2/3 cannot be replaced by a larger constant. As part of the proof we obtain the following result which may be of independent interest. We show that given a graph G on n vertices with at least edges, whenever G is 2-edge-coloured, there is a monochromatic path of length at least (2/3100sqrtepsilon)n. This is an extension of the classical result by Gerencs'er and Gy'arf'as which says that whenever Kn is 2-coloured there is a monochromatic path of length at least 2n/3.
