Mental Elf returns for 2025!

It’s back…It’s Christmassy…It’s Mental Elf 2025 – putting the fun into fun run.

Mental Elf returns for 2025 as the way to kick start the festive season. A flat 5K fun event which focuses on bringing people together, not only to fundraise, but to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing.

Join with your local community, to do something that’s good for you, and raise vital funds for Mind in Gwent (in candy cane striped tights – what could be better!).

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!

If running, hopping or skipping isn’t for you, you can still support Mental Elf as a volunteer. You could be a marshall or helping with registration or fundraising on the day. Get in touch with our fundraising team to register your interest. 

Volunteers and participants can register below.
