Trail Escape is partnering with Mind to celebrate the benefits that getting active in nature can bring to our mental health and wellbeing.
Mind is supporting Trail Escape’s mission to create trail events that encourage people to explore the beauty of the countryside for their physical and mental health and wellbeing.
Together, we’ll encourage people to enjoy a moment away from everyday pressures by taking to the trails.
Trail Escape will donate £10 from every marathon event registration fee and £5 from every 25km event registration fee to Mind (registered charity number 219830).
Physical activity has so many benefits for our overall wellbeing. It can boost confidence, improve mood, help you sleep better and even reduce the risk of depression.
It can also help you feel confident and empowered. Being active can allow you to set and achieve goals. Seeing what you’re able to do can help you feel proud of yourself too.

Spending time in nature has been found to help with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
Being outside in natural light can be helpful if you experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that affects people during particular seasons or times of year.

Trail Escape will donate £10 from every marathon event registration fee and £5 from every 25km event registration fee to Mind (registered charity number 219830).
£10 will help their Infoline advisors pick up the phone to someone with nowhere else to turn. Where they can find information about mental health problems, questions about treatment options and signposting to services.
