Mental Elf Festive Fun Run - Darlington
The Mental Elf Festive Fun Run takes place on 29th November 2026 in South Park, Darlington. The event is a non-competitive, two lap 5 km route that passes the park's main landmarks and can be walked, jogged, skipped or run.
The event is open to all ages and abilities. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult and children aged 5 and under may take part free of charge; free entries do not include a goody bag. Wheelchairs and pushchairs are welcome. For safety reasons bicycles and scooters are not permitted on the route. Well behaved dogs on short leads are also welcome.
Entry fees include a runner's medal, a goody bag and a warm-up led by a fitness professional. The organisers state that some entertainment and medical support will be provided on the day. There is a suggested fundraising target of £20 to support local mental health services; the entry fee also helps cover event costs.
On the day there will be live and recorded music, panto characters, a band, a photo booth, children’s crafts, a raffle, a Christmas merchandise stall and a photographer capturing the event. Festive fancy dress is encouraged and prizes will be awarded. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
