Join us for our Mental Elf 5km fun run on Sunday 31st of November in Newport!

After the success of last years run we’re excited for this years Mental Elf 5km event!

Mental Elf is a fun run with the emphasis on fun – we have 5k flat(ish) route for all ages to take part in. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned runner or prefer a stroll to take in your surroundings, this event is for everyone!

This is a fun, festive event which focuses on bringing people together, not only to fundraise, but to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing. It’s about coming together with your local community, to do something that’s good for you, whilst giving something back by helping to raise vital funds for Mind in Gwent. You’ll be connecting with others, doing some physical activity, spending some time in nature and getting the feel-good factor of supporting your local mental health charity – all things that help to boost your own mental wellbeing.

Take part in our 5km family fun run in Newport

You can choose to walk, jog, skip or run the 5km park run route. The event is open to all ages and abilities, children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Elf fancy dress is very much encouraged!
