Simon Home Run 5K

Dublin Simon Community invites walkers and runners to complete a 5km loop in Phoenix Park on 3 October 2026 and raise essential funds to end homelessness.

Now in its 43rd year, Home Run allows participants to fundraise for those experiencing homelessness while enjoying an accessible journey through the scenic Phoenix Park. The course 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.

This event also hosts a Family Day Out at the start/finish line, 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.
