Join us for our 42nd annual Home Run

Walk, jog, run, hop or dance the 5K loop though the scenic Phoenix Park – all to raise vital funds for our life-saving services, and help end homelessness.  

This year, we are asking everyone to treat the entry fee as just the beginning. Your €30 registration gets you to the starting line – but your fundraising efforts can take it even further:

Aim to raise €100 or more! Raise €50 and receive a limited-edition Home Run souvenir t-shirt.  

 

This year we're asking you to take it even further and fundraise

Register for the race

Simply sign up for the race on the 4th of October by purchasing your ticket and you will automatically be set up with your very own fundraising page that will be active from that point onwards

Share with friends and family

Once you sign up you can begin sharing your fundraising page with friends and family. You will receive a fundraising guide including pre-made social templates and tips and tricks on how to get started

Fundraise!

We’re asking participants to raise €100 or more; once you hit €50, you’ll receive a limited-edition Home Run souvenir t-shirt! All proceeds go directly to our life-saving services

A brilliant day out for a worthy cause

Last year’s event had close to 1,500 registrations, over 26 corporate teams, 6 schools, and 100 amazing volunteers. All participants made the event bigger and better than ever, helping us raise funds for our life-saving services, with all proceeds directly supporting our clients to close the door on homelessness for good.

This year’s Home Run is set to be another fantastic day out. Sign up below to secure your spot!

This year, we are highlighting your pets with a fun competition

At Dublin Simon Community, we understand that pets are part of the family. Some of our services offer rooms specifically for people experiencing homelessness who don’t want to give up their furry companions to access support. For this reason, at this year’s Home Run we’re celebrating your pets with a fun competition.

To enter, simply purchase a pet bandana when you register, and make sure that you have it with you on the day. Petmania has generously sponsored the event, donating the top prize along with a toy for the first 50 pets to sign up. 

*Please make sure that your pet is on a leash and that you have full control of your pet while in the park.
