Dublin Simon Community's 5k Home Run 2026 'Run & Family Day Out'
Dublin Simon Community's Home Run is a community fundraising event taking place in Phoenix Park, Dublin on Saturday 3 October 2026. The event features a 5 km loop that is described as open to all ages and abilities; past participants have included schools, walking groups, families with buggies and elite runners. Organisers encourage group attendance and spectating from family and friends along the route.
The event frames the entry fee as a starting point for fundraising. Participants are encouraged to aim for a €100 fundraising target. Fundraisers who reach €50 receive a limited-edition Home Run t-shirt. The Home Run has been used since 1983 to raise funds that support Dublin Simon Community work across emergency response, wraparound services and long-term housing solutions.
Ticket options listed for the event include early-bird individual entry with race pack and postage included, an early-bird family of four option for children under 16, a corporate entry option, and a free register interest option for corporate sponsorship. Corporate partnership opportunities are available through a sponsorship pack and an interest ticket for organisations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
