Last year we had over 200 runners and walkers join us in support of local people's mental health – raising an incredible £9,200. This year's event promises to be even bigger and better, with live music, refreshments on site and special guests Sally Gunnell OBE and Jack the Lad.
Get into the festive spirit:
Elf costumes are encouraged and preferred but not essential. We hope to see many dressed up as elves - it's a great way to get into the festive spirit and show your support for local people. The best dressed elf will win a prize.
You could even fundraise as part of your entry and help support local people.
Where and when will Mental Elf take place?
Run or walk along Worthing seafront, from Splashpoint to Grand Avenue (the Worthing park run route) on Sunday 24 November.
