Held at the stunning Bodenham Arboretum in Kidderminster, this event isn’t just about raising funds, it’s about bringing our community together and shining a light on the importance of mental health and wellbeing, especially during the holiday season. Whether you’re an experienced runner, a casual walker, or just coming along for the festive vibes!

What to Expect
- A 5K festive fun run. Run or walk this route takes you through the beautiful Bodenham Arboretum, with some hilly terrain and muddy tracks: so expect a bit of a challenge but plenty of festive fun! Please note: the route includes uneven ground, hills and muddy tracks, and is unfortunately not suitable for wheelchair users or pushchairs. To accommodate individuals of all abilities we are running a separate accessible route for individuals, their families and friends who would prefer a stable course.
- Christmas fancy dress (with a prize for the best-dressed Elf!)
- A festive best dressed dog competition, bring your furry friends!
- Special discounts for families, groups and corporate teams.

- If you would like to book a table for Sunday dinner after the event (available 12 noon - 2pm) please email Bodenham Arboretum on [email protected]. (This is not incuded in the ticket price).

Every pound raised supports our vital mental health services across Coventry, Warwickshire and Worcestershire over the Christmas period. So, dust off your elf ears, gather your team, and help us make this the jolliest Mental Elf yet!
