Mind in Bexley are hosting a Mental Elf 5K Fun Run in Danson Park, and would love your help to make sure everything runs smoothly.

We may be asked to:

  • Help with registration - checking people in and handing out safety pins and elf hats

  • Marshal the course to cheer on runners and keep them on track πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

  • Hand out finishers’ medals at the end of the run πŸ…

πŸ•— Timings

Please arrive by 8:00am for a briefing.

The run starts at 10:00am and finishes by 12:00pm.

If you’re an early elf and can come at 7:00am, extra help unloading vans and setting up marquees would be amazing!

Or, if you can stay until 2:00pm to help pack down, Santa will definitely have you on his 'nice' list! πŸ˜‡
