Dublin Simon Community Home Run 5K 'Run & Family Day Out' 2026
The event is a community 5-kilometre loop taking place in Phoenix Park, Dublin, on Saturday, 3 October 2026. The route is described as open to all ages and abilities and has previously included schools, walking groups, wheelchair users, families with buggies, and elite runners. The format includes waves of participants and encourages family and friends to cheer along the route.
The Home Run is also a fundraising event for Dublin Simon Community. Participants who raise at least €50 receive a limited-edition Home Run T-shirt, and a suggested fundraising target is €100. Funds raised support the organisation’s emergency response, wraparound services, and long-term housing work aimed at addressing homelessness.
