GETfestive, get moving and support local mental health at Dorset Mind's first Mental Elf Festive Fun Run in Poundbury!

Join us on Sunday, 13 December for a festive 5K walk, jog or run, bringing the local community together to raise funds and awareness for mental health across Dorset.

The event is part of the wider Mental Elf Festive Fun Run movement, taking place across many Local Minds within the Mind federation nationwide. Dorset Mind is bringing the movement to Dorchester, the county town, at The Great Field, a well-loved location for the local parkrun community.

Whether you're joining individually, getting friends together, bringing the family or organising a workplace team, everyone is welcome. This is a non-competitive event, so you can walk, jog or run at your own pace. Festive dress is encouraged!

Funds raised will help Dorset Mind continue supporting people experiencing mental health difficulties across Dorset.

Book your place now to take advantage of Early Elf prices, available until 13 November 2026. Get your festive outfit ready and join us for a brilliant community event in support of local mental health.
