Mental Elf Festive Fun Run 2026!
Join NPT Mind as they host their annual 5k family fun run this December to fund mental health support in our local community. This year, every penny raised will be ringfenced for our Children & Young People services.
NPT Mind is pleased to be hosting this year’s Mental Elf 5k family fun run at 11am on Sunday 6th December at Gnoll Park. Choose to walk, run or jog, the event is open to all abilities and ages.
Mental Elf is a unique event that focuses on bringing people together, not only to fundraise but to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing locally. It promotes the benefits of physical activity, connecting with people and doing something to help others. Join a community with over 50 Local Mind Mental Elf events happening up and down the country.
