Dublin Simon Community’s Home Run

This event has ended

Phoenix Park, Saturday 5th October

Dublin Simon Community is inviting hundreds of walkers, joggers, and runners and indeed dancers; to complete a new Phoenix Park 5K loop on Saturday 5th October and raise essential funds to end homelessness. This year’s event will host a Wellness Day Out at the start and finish line filled with food trucks, children’s entertainment, live music and wellness activities, encouraging people of all ages to complete the course and join the celebrations with fellow fun-runners.

Now in its 41st year, Home Run allows participants to fundraise for those experiencing homelessness while enjoying an accessible journey through the scenic Phoenix Park. The new 5-kilometre loop is perfect for all ages and physical abilities. Everyone is encouraged to walk, jog, run, hop, skip, or dance their way to the finish line. Previous years have seen schools, walking clubs, parents with buggies, wheelchair users, elite runners, active retirement groups, corporate teams, and many more join together to participate.

The first wave of participants will start the Home Run at 9.30am, with family members and friends encouraged to cheer on participants from the side-lines. The start and finish line will host a range of stalls and activities for participants to enjoy once the hard work is done, including musical performances and Dublin Simon Community’s Wellness Day Out.
