Mental Elf Festive Fun Run 2026

Join us on Saturday 29 November, 10am to 2pm, for a festive fun run through Dalby Forest in aid of SWR Mind.

Choose the 5k route or take it easy on the 3k. The event is open to all ages and abilities, so run, walk, skip, roll or dance your way round. Elf outfits are strongly encouraged!

After the run, head to the Courtyard Area for a Christmas market with stalls and festive treats, plus Santa's Grotto, where little ones can share their wishes and receive a gift from Santa (£5 on the day).

The event raises awareness and funds for local mental health support with SWR Mind. There's no fundraising requirement, but we'd love you to raise £40 or more through our JustGiving page. See the FAQ section for details.
