Ready to be part of the magic again? Sign up to volunteer at the bottom of the page: rbmind.org/support-us/mental-elf-fun-run-2025/

We’ll make sure they have everything they need to get stuck in — and of course, festive treats to keep them going. With your help, we can make 2025 the most festive, fun-filled event yet — and raise even more vital funds for local mental health.

Registration begins at 9:30AM, and the run begins at 11AM.

Mental Elf is a festive 5km fun run around the beautiful Marble Hill Park – walk, jog or run your way around the route! The event is open to all abilities and ages, as well as our doggie friends. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Festive fancy dress is strongly encouraged but not essential.

The 5k route is 3 laps around the park. We truly want to involve as many community members and supporters as possible, so you are welcome to complete 1 or 2 laps of the route if you prefer.

The event highlights the importance of physical wellbeing to support our mental wellbeing, and to raise vital funds for Richmond Borough Mind.
