West Sussex Mind Mental Elf Festive Fun Run is back for its fourth year!

Get into the festive spirit and join West Sussex Mind for our annual Festive Fun Run on Sunday 29 November along Worthing Promenade!
Whether you're up for a 5k or a 2k, everyone is welcome. No running experience is needed, and you can walk, jog or run at your own pace. The event is open to all ages and abilities, and even your four-legged friends can join in. Elf costumes aren't compulsory, but they're definitely encouraged!
Last year, 250 runners and walkers came together to support community mental health, raising an amazing £9,000. This year, we're hoping to make an even bigger impact, with live music, refreshments and Christmas stalls to enjoy along the way. We are offering our 2k option again this year, which is particularly suitable for families to run or walk together.
Tickets start from £10, with fundraising opportunities and discounts for group bookings available. Every ticket purchased and donation will help fund vital mental health services across West Sussex. We provide support to adults, children and young people across the county - we believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone.
In 2025-26, West Sussex Mind supported 8,199 people in our community, including 550 people in crisis through our Staying Well Service, 360 parents and carers through our parenting service, and 1,238 children and young people. Your support helps us to continue and further our services, reaching more people who need us.
We would also like to say a big thank you to our sponsors, DMH Stallard and Aspire Residential.
Ready to jingle all the way? Gather your friends, family or colleagues, dig out your festive outfits and sign up today!
