Dublin Irish Festival 5K & Kids Dash Presented by IGS Energy

This running event takes place in Historic Dublin and serves as the official kickoff to the larger Dublin Irish Festival. There's a 5K race for adults and teens, plus separate Kids Dash races organized by age groups, so younger children can participate at an appropriate level. Spots fill up quickly—the 5K is capped at 1,000 runners, and each Kids Dash category accepts only 75 participants, so early registration is important if your family wants to join in. It's a great option for families who enjoy running together or want their children to experience a community race in a festive setting. Whether you're a serious runner or just looking for a fun way to get moving with your kids, this event offers something for different ages and abilities. Register early to secure your spot before the event reaches capacity.
