Over 8,000 Santas turned up for this year's Santa Dash
Santas were out in force in Liverpool last weekend for the iconic annual festive fun run - the 20 th anniversary BTR Liverpool Santa Dash . The city was transformed into a sea of red and blue as thousands of participants don Santa suits on Sunday, December 1, with the spectacle attracting a staggering 8,556 Santas, in the largest number of entries for a decade. Last year’s figure of 6,100 was snowballed with two weeks to go as Santas dashed to sign up.
The Santa Dash pop-up shop was open seven days a week at St Johns Shopping Centre for suit collections, registrations, and gave out thousands of goodie bags. This was the eighth consecutive year that St Johns have been involved – a large team also took part on the day. Grade I Listed Royal Albert Dock Liverpool became part of the route in 2018 following the demolition of the Churchill Flyover. Dashing through the Dock has become a much-loved part of the day.
