Join Mental Elf and you could win a cool unisex hoodie

Taking part in this year’s Mental Elf Festive Fun Run will give you the chance to win a super cool hoodie donated by the founder of clothing company Refuse to Conform.

Everyone that books a ticket to take part in the fun run will go into the hat with the winning race number drawn on the morning of the event.

This year’s Mental Elf fun run takes place on Sunday, 29 November and starts in Canterbury’s beautiful Westgate Gardens. There are 2km and 5km routes that can be walked, jogged or ran. Participants receive an elf hat and participation medal as part of the package and will be helping to encourage positive conversations around mental health.

This will be the third year the event has been staged and once again the Lord Mayor of Canterbury will join sponsors ADM Computing and Guildcrest Estates to wave the chequered flag to start the event. You can book a discounted Early Elf ticket now and even receive a second discount by using the code: mind.

Whether you are taking part in memory of a loved one, want to be part of a joyful and uplifting experience or just want to run for fun, book your ticket now at www.eastkentmind.org.uk/mentalelf

Charlie, the founder of Refuse to Conform Clothing has built the independent, one-person clothing brand around mental-health awareness, comfort and starting conversations that matter.

Charlie said: “I recently discovered your Mental Elf Festive Fun Run and I’d love to support the work you’re doing.

“I’m passionate about giving back to mental-health charities, so I’d be delighted to donate a voucher for one of our Ultra-Heavy Anxiety Relief Hoodies, worth £76, as a prize at the event.

“Our Ultra-Heavy hoodies have been thoughtfully designed to offer a comforting, weighted feel, with an extra-large hood and extra-long sleeves. Our clothing also carries meaningful mental-health messages intended to help people feel seen, supported and less alone.

“Our online community has grown to around one million followers across our social platforms, and supporting organisations whose values genuinely align with ours is something that means a great deal to me. Thank you for the important work you’re doing.”
