The UK’s biggest Santa Dash is back!
Since launching in 2004, the Liverpool Santa Dash has become one of the city’s most iconic festive events, earning a Guinness World Record in 2005 for the Biggest Santa Gathering.

The 5K route starts at the world-famous Pier Head, beneath the iconic Liver Building, before winding through Liverpool city centre. Along the way, you’ll pass the Royal Albert Dock before crossing the finish line outside Liverpool Town Hall, where you’ll be welcomed with plenty of festive cheer.

Thank you to the crew at the charity for saving my life, with their quick thinking and performance – in what must have been a very high-pressure situation. I was written off all the way but the decisions they made have given me more time with my family and children.
