ABOUT THIS EVENT

The 2025 Dublin Irish Festival 5K and Kids Dash presented by IGS Energy will be held on Thursday, July 31, in Historic Dublin to kick off the 2025 Dublin Irish Festival weekend. This event will be limited to 1,000 registrants in the 5K and 75 registrants in each of our age-specific Kids Dash races. All races have sold out in the past two years, so don’t delay and miss your chance on the fun!

The event features a down-and-back course through Historic Dublin with a finish line full of spectators, followed by a post-race party and concert until 9 PM!

All 5K participants receive the following with their registration:

• High-quality event t-shirt (unisex)
• Official finisher medal
• One-day ticket to the Dublin Irish Festival 
• One (1) beer from our beverage sponsor, Maumee Bay Brewing Co. (must be 21 and over) 
  
  • Non-alcoholic beverage option will be provided to those not of age
  
  

Once you cross the finish line, the celebration continues at the post-race party and concert located in the 55 S. High St. parking lot! There is no gear check at this event and IDs are required to receive/purchase any alcohol after the race.

The post-race party food vendors are Tortilla Street Food, Little Ladies Soft Serve and The Cheesecake Girl. Beverages will be available from Maumee Bay Brewing Co. The Rice Brothers will be back to bring energy on stage!

Businesses located in the 55 S. High St. parking lot will also be open for participants to enjoy. Be sure to check out Missing Jimmy’s and Boho 72 Boutique during the party!

Start the Festival weekend early with drinks, food, and Irish music!
