Conwy Mind Mental Elf 2025

Get ready to jingle and jog at our festive 5K fun run! We know, we know – it might feel a bit early for Christmas, but we couldn’t wait to share the news! Join us on 30th November at Stadiwm Eirias in Colwyn Bay for a day of fun, laughter, and fundraising to support mental health in Conwy.

Mini Elf 2k Fun Run

New this year, mini elves can join in the fun too with a shorter fun run before the main event that is still packed full of all the jingling fun.

 

A Free National Trust pass for every participant*

This year, Mind is partnering with the National Trust. If you take part in a local Mental Elf event or volunteer, you’ll receive a free family access pass to National Trust sites! It’s our way of thanking you for supporting mental health and reminding you to look after your wellbeing this winter.
*We have a limited number of passes available on a first come, first served basis

Why it’s more important than ever to donate

Mental Health in our communities is in crisis, and Conwy has some of the highest rates of mental health emergencies in Wales. Your support helps fund vital support calls, counselling and social groups to help people live well and stay connected.

 Together, we can stop mental health crisis in Conwy before it starts.

 

Thank you to Lancashire Mind who created the original concept of Mental Elf.

The Route

Don’t be fooled by the word run – you’re welcome to walk, jog, or skip your way around the course, making it perfect for all ages and abilities. We’ll start on the athletics track at Stadiwm Eirias, before heading past the tennis centre and out onto the beautiful Colwyn Bay Promenade. Our cheerful elves will travel west along the prom, turn around opposite The Toad, and make their way back to a festive finish on the Stadiwm CSM track.

 

 

Fundraising 

This is our biggest Christmas fundraising event – and every pound raised helps Conwy Mind support local mental health. We’d love for as many participants as possible to get sponsored, and there’ll be special prizes for our top fundraisers (details coming soon!).

Every participant will receive a medal and a goody bag as a thank-you for taking part – so pull on your elf hat, gather your friends and family, and join us for a festive 5K full of fun, fresh air, and Christmas cheer!
