🎄 Mental Elf 5K Festive Fun Run – North Lincolnshire 🎄Sunday 30th November 2025 | Central Park, Scunthorpe
Lace up your running shoes and join us for our first-ever Mental Elf Festive Fun Run! This family-friendly 5K is the perfect way to kick off the festive season while raising awareness and vital funds for mental health support in North Lincolnshire.
🏃♀️ Walk, jog, skip, or dance your way around the 5K route – whether you’re a seasoned runner or prefer a gentle stroll, this event is perfect for all ages and abilities (children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult). Well-behaved dogs on leads are also welcome!
🎅 Christmas fancy dress is very much encouraged – dig out your most festive outfit and join us for a great cause! The more sparkle and tinsel, the better – but it’s not essential.
💙 Why take part?
Mental Elf is about more than fundraising – it’s about bringing people together, promoting mental wellbeing, building community connections, and celebrating the positive impact of physical activity.
We know Christmas can be a joyful time, but it can also be especially hard for those struggling with their mental health. By taking part, you’ll be helping North Lincolnshire Mind provide vital local services – from late-night phone support to peer groups – ensuring no one has to face a mental health problem alone.
🎁 Your ticket includes:
- Registration and running number
- Special Mental Elf medal for all finishers
- Goody bag
📣 Fundraising
Fundraising isn’t compulsory, but we’d love our elves to aim for a minimum of £25 in sponsorship. Setting up your JustGiving page is quick and easy – and every pound makes a difference right here in North Lincolnshire.

So sign up, dress up, and help us spread festive cheer and mental health awareness this winter. We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
Finally, a big thank you to Lancashire Mind, who created the original concept of Mental Elf.
