ℹ️ ABOUT
Mental Elf is a unique event which focuses on bringing people together, not only to fundraise, but to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing. It promotes the benefits of physical activity, connecting with people and doing something to help others. It’s an inclusive and non-competitive event, accessible and open to all ages and abilities, and of course, Christmas fancy dress is very much encouraged!

✨️ EVENT DETAILS
The fundraising event will take place at the beautiful venue of The Forest Centre, in Marston Moretaine to help raise vital funds for Mind BLMK. All proceeds will help fund our key mental health and wellbeing services in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes. Each entrant will receive a victory medal!

⏰️ IS IT A TIMED EVENT ?
No, this is an inclusive community run and won't be timed. You can walk, skip, run or jog, the emphasis is on moving your body and getting out in nature, whilst raising funds for Mind BLMK. Participants are welcome to time their own run, however this won't be tracked by us.

🐶 DOG INFORMATION
Well behaved four legged friends are welcome on short handheld non-extendable leads. Please be mindful of other runners and users of the forest. Only one dog per participant and please don't run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time. Please clean up any poo!

♿️ ACCESSIBILITY
The route is on a main cycle and walking route, some areas may be uneven in places as it is a trail. The surface is flat and gravel. There is step free access throughout the building, with automatic doors into Reception and a baby changing facility/ disabled toilet, with a lift to upstairs.
