Elf Run is an annual festive sponsored walk or run, how you do it is entirely up to you! As this is a fundraiser for all ages (including adults!), you get to pick the date, distance and route of your run.

To add to the festivities, Barnsley Hospice will provide a FREE elf hat for everyone taking part to wear during the run.

We ask that 'elves' collect sponsorship for their efforts to support Barnsley Hospice and the care we provide to local families when they need it most.

In 2024, we were delighted that our Elf Run had over 10,000 participants who together raised an incredible £37,000 to support our care and services. We're hoping to reach an even bigger total this year and you can help us do that!

This fundraiser is made possible thanks to the help and generosity of our friends at White's Bakery who are sponsoring the event for the fifth consectutive year.
