Darlington Mind's Mental Elf Festive 5k returns to South Park on November 29 to raise funds for mental health support.

Darlington Mind's Mental Elf Festive 5k returns to South Park on Sunday, November 29. Now in its third year, the event welcomes people of all ages and abilities to walk, jog or run its 5km route in support of mental health services.

The Cockerton Prize Silver Band will play along the route, and Physique Fitness Club will lead the warm-up. Yorkshire Rose Events and Kim Hollins Photography will host a festive selfie booth, whilst panto characters from Darlington's Majestic Theatre will also appear. Families, children and dogs are welcome, and spectators can cheer on participants.

Jemma Gregory, marketing and development officer for Darlington Mind, said the event is 'a lovely way to kick off the Christmas festivities, have some fun with friends and family and support a local cause at the same time'. She added that as a local Mind, the organisation relies on its own fundraising to continue delivering services in the community.
