So that's it for another year - the 10th Liverpool Santa Dash has been and gone. As usual it was the usual mix of athletes, fun-runners, walkers and people just out to raise money for their favourite cause. And what a mixture it was - adults, children, people pulling sleighs, dogs dressed as reindeers, men dressed as fairies, people calling at pubs for mid-race refreshments - you name it, Liverpool Santa Dash has it all, and here are some images to prove it. The jury is still out on whether the 2013 Liverpool Santa Dash has reclaimed its crown as the biggest Santa Dash in the world, but one thing is certain - a lot of money was raised for good causes, and a lot of people will be back next year for more. The amount raised for safe motherhood and maternal health projects in Rwanda currently stands at £170 plus Gift Aid, with some more still to come. Online donations are still welcome at www.bmycharity.com/santa2013 and every penny raised, plus Gift Aid, will go towards the saf...

Well it's not number 1 or 2 which I've had in previous years. It's not even number 13, which I've had twice! This year's number is 5721! Nothing special then, except that it shows just how popular the Liverpool Santa Dash really is! And there are still a few days to get those numbers up to last year's figure of over 8000. If past years are anything to go by, there will be a couple of thousand entering in the last week, so the record is within reach. Most will be running for charity, and some will be running for Rwanda. If you would like to help us to support midwifery training, maternal health, and safe motherhood projects in Rwanda, please sponsor us at www.bmycharity.com/santa2013 Thank you for your continued support. Without people like you, we would not have been able to achieve the things we have done over the last 12 years.

It's back! Liverpool Santa Dash - the biggest Santa Dash in Britain, and maybe the World ! From humble beginnings in 2004, the Liverpool Santa Dash has grown year on year to become the phenomenon that brings over 8000 Santas to the centre of Liverpool. And for 2013, the biggest and best has got even bigger and better - the Liverpool Santa Dash 2013 has once again teamed up with ITV's Text Santa appeal, and is aiming to bring over 10000 Santas to the centre of Liverpool raising funds for charity. Once again, I will be running for Shyira Trust, raising funds for Maternal Health, Midwifery Training and Safe Motherhood projects in Rwanda. In previous years we have had a team, as many as 15, but this year there may be just me. However many we have running, we will have fun, while Running for Rwanda. If you would like to help, you can, and you have two choices - you can join me, get sponsorship, and we can all run for Rwanda. Or, to help me raise much-needed funds for Mat...
