In short: Great sunday morning entertainment
In full: Really enjoyed this, though the Santa suit got rather hot and breathing through a false beard is not joy. Probably a personal worst for time, but who cares - it was very surreal

In short: Surreal!
In full: This was great fun. Definitely not the place for a p.b. though seeing as I didn't have a 5k time already, I've got one now! Some observations:
(1) Excellent goody bag.
(2) The santa suit gets very hot so if I do it next year I'll rather more scantily clad underneath.
(3) I reckon it was longer than 5km though as my GPS threw a wobbly on the second km I can't be certain. Granted, getting lashed the previous night and making the mistake of eating a doner kebab probably wasn't ideal preparation but I'm sure my pedestrian time wasn't only down to my constitution. Any other opinions on the distance?
In short, highly recommended!

In short: Not about time, just about having fun. Even an Elvis Santa took part!!
In full: Surely one of the better events, if only for sheer fun and sense of humour. Very few people seemed to take it too seriously, even some dogs were dressed up and ran along. The best goody bag all year, a nice medal and a Santa outfit - bargain for the £10 entry fee. A nice way to spend a Sunday morning and half a giggle.

In short: Super day out, even converted my Mrs to saying she was doing it next year
In full: Really good day. After I had accepted that there was not a chance in hell of getting a 'time' due to the amount of roadworks and walkers in the way the only real thing to do was enjoy the surreal view of all those Santas.

In short: Had to be seen to be believed
In full: When I first heard about the Liverpool Santa Dash I just knew I had to take part. It was a surreal sight to behold. The streets were a sea of red and white, with one or two blue Santa's for the Everton fans. Brilliant Atmosphere plus a nice medal and goody bag for finishing. My 5yr son had a hoot watching !
