Liverpool Santa Dash : 6 December 2026

The Liverpool Santa Dash is a festive fun run in central Liverpool on 6 December 2026. The event offers a family-friendly atmosphere with a main 5K and a separate 1K Mini Dash for children.

Distances

  • 5K main Santa Dash
  • 1K Mini Dash for children up to 12 years

The main 5K route starts near the Tate, goes down Salthouse Quay, passes the Albert Dock, continues round to Leeds Street and finishes near Liverpool Town Hall. The Mini Dash follows a 1K route down Lord Street and Stanley Street to the same finish as the 5K. The Mini Dash is for children aged 12 and under; accompanying adults may run free if registered.

Entries include a Santa suit for participants over 3 years old (adult suits are one size), goody bags and finisher medals for 5K participants and for children in the 1K. Child Santa suits are available in specific age sizes; Mini Dash child suits are red and available in ages 5–8 and 9–14. Entry fees vary by suit colour and age category, with reduced rates for children aged 3–8 and free registration for under 3s who still must register to receive a medal.

Race numbers and Santa suits must be collected in advance with the QR code from the registration email. Collection runs from 16 November to 5 December at St John’s Shopping Centre, Unit TBC, with weekday and weekend opening hours. Little Lights (formerly Zoe’s Place) is the headline partner charity.
