A pop-up shop celebrating the 20th anniversary BTR Liverpool Santa Dash has opened.

Located at St Johns Shopping Centre, the shop opened at 9.30am on November 1.

It will remain open seven days a week until November 30.

The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash is set to take place on December 1, with the 5K route starting at 9.30am from Pier Head Liverpool.

This fun-filled day will also feature a Mini Dash 1K for youngsters, starting in Castle Street at 11am.

An incredible 4,000 Santas have already registered to participate, with limited blue Santa suits still available.

"We’ll be open seven days a week for four weeks."

Santas can sign up at the shop and take away their run number, Santa suit, medal wristband, and goodie bag.

Online registrants will need to collect their Santa suits from the shop with their collection card.

This year's event is supporting Claire House Children’s Hospice as the official charity partner.

Mr Rothwell added: "Liverpool Santa Dash is always a very special event for BTR.

"The spectacle of thousands of Santas – red, blue, and mini – dashing through the city really is an annual festive tradition like no other.

"Please support our official charity partner Claire House Children’s Hospice if you can, either by dashing for them or by making a donation."

The event is open to everyone, with participants able to walk, jog, or run alongside wheelchair users, families, friends, or colleagues.
