About The Cause
Dublin Simon Community was founded by a group of Trinity and UCD students in 1969, who began by providing much-needed soup and sandwiches to people who were sleeping rough in Dublin city centre.
In addition to the Soup Run, which still goes out 365 nights of the year, Dublin Simon Community provide many services which aim to help those who are sleeping rough on the streets, people who are in their own accommodation but at risk of homelessness and those who are at any of the stages in between.
About The Campaign
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
9.00am, with family members and friends encouraged to cheer on participants
from the sidelines. 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.
