Mental Elf festive fun run Birmingham 2026
The Mental Elf festive fun run is organised by Birmingham Mind and takes place at Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham on 29 November 2026. The event is the fourth edition and is intended to raise funds for mental health services in Birmingham and Solihull; all funds raised will remain in Birmingham to support local services.
The event offers two park routes and welcomes people of all ages and abilities. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Discounts are available for family and group or corporate teams. Elf fancy dress is encouraged and there will be "Best Dressed Elf" competitions.
The event includes registered participation benefits for entrants such as registration and a running number, a pre-event warm up, a finisher medal, a goody bag with a snack and water, and access to event photographs. Previous fundraising totals and helpline call statistics are noted to explain local need for services.
Highlights include community participation in a park setting and fundraising to support services such as the Central Wellbeing Hub at The Bullring and Grand Central. The organisers encourage participants to set fundraising targets to support local mental health groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
