Get ready for a sea of Santas as the much-loved Liverpool Santa Dash returns on Sunday 6th December, bringing festive fun, Christmas cheer and plenty of excitement to the streets of Liverpool!
One of the city’s favourite Christmas traditions, the Liverpool Santa Dash welcomes people of all ages and abilities to dress up in their Santa suits and take part in a fun-filled celebration through the heart of the city.
Whether you’re taking on the main 5K or joining the little ones for the Mini Dash, it’s a fantastic way to kick-start the festive season, make memories and support a wonderful cause.
Something for the Whole Family!
The main 5K Santa Dash takes runners through some of Liverpool’s most iconic locations, including the waterfront, Albert Dock and city centre, before finishing near Liverpool Town Hall.
For younger Santas, the 1K Mini Dash starts at approximately 11am on Castle Street and is open to children aged 12 and under. Parents and guardians can join their children for free, but must register in advance.
Participants can look forward to plenty of festive cheer, with Santa suits, finisher’s medals and goody bags included for eligible entrants.
This year’s headline charity partner is Little Lights (formerly Zoe’s Place), which provides specialist care and support to babies and young children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their families.
Make a Festive Day of It!
Whether you’re running, walking or cheering from the sidelines, the Liverpool Santa Dash is a wonderful way to experience the city’s Christmas spirit.

to enjoy some Christmas shopping, pick up festive gifts or grab a bite to eat before or after the event.
