The annual fundraising event is to mark its 20th anniversary
Thousands of Santas are expected to take over Liverpool as the annual BTR Santa Dash returns. The festive 5k fun run is returning to the city centre today, Sunday, December 1, for a milestone year. The Christmas tradition began in 2004, thanks to race director Alan Rothwell and has only grown since - last year's dash drew over 6,100 Santas. At this year’s event, nearly 8,000 are expected to take on the route in support of Claire House Children’s Hospice. Kicking off at the Pier Head at 9.
The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash will officially be started by Rachel Marnell, a Walton mum who is running in memory of her late daughter Phoebe. Claire House Children’s Hospice, which offers care for terminally ill children and young adults, is the official charity partner for the event this year. Ms Marnell said: 'No words will ever be enough to explain how grateful we are for the support and care given by Claire House at the most difficult time of our lives.
