The countdown to the Liverpool Santa Dash has officially launched with a Santa Conga

Highly regarded as the city’s kick-start to Christmas, the Liverpool Santa Dash is back for its 14^th year when the festive extravaganza takes place on Sunday, 3 December.

The race is now on to make the Liverpool Santa Dash, in association with Arriva Bus, the biggest and best yet. The event is organised and delivered by BTR Liverpool, whose Race Director Alan Rothwell created the festive spectacle in 2004.

The Liverpool Santa Dash is the UK’s biggest festive 5K fun run. This year’s event is also supported by Scottish Power Energy Networks and St Johns Shopping Centre Liverpool. Entries are open now and almost 2,500 red, blue and mini Santas have already registered.

Yesterday Santa’s from all over the city joined a very special Santa Conga around St Johns Shopping Centre and our Kate was there to get all the Santa Dash goss.
