24 of the best photos from Liverpool Santa Dash 2023

Drummers, dogs and The Grinch were spotted at the festive fundraiser

Thousands of people donned Christmas outfits for Liverpool’s annual Santa dash.

The Santa Dash sees people run a 5k course across the city centre for a variety of charitable causes. Some include Alder Hey Children's Charity’s Surgical Neonatal Appeal, Liverpool Women's Hospital Charity, Clatterbridge Cancer Charity and more.

Although many opt for the traditional red Santa outfit, some opt for blue to mark their support for Everton. One opted for a Grinch outfit today, while others took their dog along for the run.

Despite the cold weather, there was a huge turnout on what was the event's twentieth anniversary.

Runners were greeted with giant Christmas characters along the way and a flurry of snow right on the finish line. It began at 9.30am at The Strand, with runners making their way through James Street, Dales Street and Leeds Street before finishing at the town hall at around 11am.

Here is a selection of the best photos from the 2023 Santa Dash.
