1K MINI DASH - IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE START TIME.

The Mini Dash is a short run starting on Castle Street at approximately 11.00am. The start time is subject to change dependent on the clearing of all runners from the main 5K run finish area. Once the main Liverpool Santa Dash runners are clear of the finish line then the Mini Dash is able to start. The decision to start the Mini Dash is governed by a safety check of the course and an assessment of the weather conditions. This is necessary to ensure the safety of everyone taking part.

THE START LINE

​

Is located part way along Castle Street close to the pelican crossing at the junction of BRUNSWICK STREET and COOK STREET.

THE COURSE

​

Follows a route along Castle Street to Lord Street then on to North John Street, Victoria Street, left on to Stanley Street and then Dale Street to return to the finish line which is situated just before the Town Hall.

CAN ADULTS ENTER THE MINI DASH?

​

In short, no. There are 750 places available for under 12's only. The Mini Dash places are allocated to children only on a first come first served basis. Adults are encouraged to accompany their children around the course but cannot officially enter the Mini Dash. Any adults wishing to attend in a Santa suit can enter the main 5K, take part in that run and then escort their children around the Mini Dash course.

There is no lower age limit on participation in the main 5K and children can enter the Liverpool Santa Dash but will be required to pay the 5K entry fee. It is not possible to enter the Mini Dash and run in the Liverpool Santa Dash. The race numbers are different colours and all finishers are monitored to ensure they are in the correct race.
