In short: Santa saunter
In full: Great atmosphere with everyone in the festive spirit & that kids could take part too, but the start and finish of the race were horrendously overcrowded. It was badly organised and despite trying to stay with kids it was hard as everyone was pushing/competetive.

Goodie bag was ok. tshirts ok.would probably choose to do a smaller santa dash nxt year.

In short: Huge Festive fun for all, adults, kids and non runners alike. Great atmosphere.
In full: Always great to run in Liverpool so worth the trip from London. Did the race in good time then a 1k with my 9 year old 'mini-me' lots of fun but some MAJORLY competitive dads! Snow machine, cool medals for adults and kids but goody bag not good for kids!Lovely atmosphere and beautiful day. Will do it next year, but not one for speed as lots of walkers just having fun - which is great!

In short: Santa Dash, Santa Dash - so good I did it twice
In full: As reported in the local press - http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-news/regional-news/2008/12/08/liverpool-s-big-santa-dash-hailed-a-runaway-success-64375-22425593/2/
Not a race at all. A Fun Run, with the emphasis on Fun. I enjoyed it so much, I ran it again as my warm down. And I've already got my entry in for next year !
