Britain's What's On Event Guide
Mental Elf - a 5k charity fun run (with special guest Cush Jumbo OBE)
Jingle all the way down to Crystal Palace Park for our Mental Elf 5km event on Sunday 1 December.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a running pro or prefer a gentle stroll, everyone can take part in this festive fun run – the emphasis is on the fun!
This is a great chance to come together with your local community whilst giving back. By getting active and spending time outdoors, you’ll not only be boosting your own mental wellbeing but also raising vital funds for your local mental health and dementia services.
Fancy dress is not mandatory but the best dressed elves (or dogs) will get an optional spotlight on our social media!
What to expect?
- A festive 5k route with a view of Crystal Palace Park’s iconic dinosaurs
- Mr Motivator style warm up from Pure Gym London Borough
- A victory medal when you cross the finish line
- Elf and Wellness stall
- Neal's Yard pamper stand
- Face painting fun
- Christmas crafts stall
- Close to Crystal Palace Park seasonal food market
- A visit from Santa and his little helper, Cush Jumbo OBE (our official celebrity ambassador)
Buggies welcome as long as you don’t mind potential mud on the two grassy sections of the route. Friendly dogs kept on a short lead are also very welcome to join.
If you need any further incentive to sign up, all ticket holders can opt in to win two tickets to the sold out West End run of Macbeth starring Cush Jumbo OBE and David Tennant. Tickets will be for the performance at 7:30pm on Wednesday 11 December.
