Lancashire Mind's Mental Elf Festive Fun Run takes place at Worden Park in Leyland, bringing runners and families together for a festive event supporting the mental health charity. The event welcomes runners, walkers, families and children, with Christmas costumes, community spirit and an emphasis on taking part rather than racing for a time.
Participants can choose the Mini Elf 2K, the classic Mental Elf 5K or Challenge YoursElf, an open ended option allowing up to two hours to cover as much distance as they wish. All activities take place within Worden Park, with routes designed for people of different ages and abilities. Runners and walkers can complete their chosen challenge at a comfortable pace while enjoying the park surroundings.
The event village features entertainment, stalls and indoor activities, alongside a best dressed dog parade. Funds raised support Lancashire Mind's mental health services across the county. Mental Elf combines outdoor exercise, festive celebrations and charitable fundraising in a welcoming community event.
