A festive 5k for all the family, raising vital funds for local mental health!

Back for a third year!

We’re excited to be bringing Mental Elf back to South Park, Darlington on Sunday 29th November 2026 – a festive, family-friendly 5K to raise vital funds for Darlington Mind’s mental health support in Darlington, Hambleton, Richmondshire, and South Durham.

Whether you run, walk, or jog, everyone is welcome – all ages and abilities, including well-behaved dogs on leads! Dig out your best festive outfit and come along for a great cause and a brilliant day out.

Mental Elf is all about bringing people together – not just to fundraise, but to promote mental wellbeing, community connection, and the positive impact of physical activity.
