Santa Claus came to town early and en masse as thousands took part in the 10th anniversary BTR Liverpool Santa Dash.
Liverpool’s annual Santa Dash festive fun run has been nominated for a national award.
Liverpool has been beaten to the World Santa Challenge record title by rival city Las Vegas.
An estimated 10,000 people took to the streets of Liverpool dressed as Father Christmas for the city’s 10th annual Santa Dash.
Santa Dash organisers are targeting 9,000 runners this year in a bid to reclaim the world record from Las Vegas.
