Join Barney on the Santa Dash
Join Anfield legend Alan Kennedy on the Santa Dash in Liverpool on Sunday and help keep the World Challenge Trophy in the city.
Thousands of Santas will take to the streets of Liverpool to take part in the world Santa Dash challenge in an attempt to keep the title in Liverpool, supporting children across the region, with charity partners Radio City's Cash for Kids and Liverpool Unites.
The fun starts at 9.30am at the Liver Buildings in the Pier Head. Joining the runners in the red Santa suit will be European Cup hero Kennedy, Liverpool's boxing champion and big Red David Price, lifelong Red Craig Phillips from Big Brother and Steve Rotheram MP.
Kennedy said: "It doesn't matter whether you are Red or Blue, this is about coming together to support this great cause and with this year's event we want people to back us all the way.
"I'm running in support of Cash 4 kids and Unites and also the former players association who support charities such as Claire House, Roy Castle Appeal and Zoe's Place."
Former Reds skipper Phil Thompson, a big supporter of the event, said: "The Santa Dash is a fantastic event for the city that gets bigger and better each year.
"It's great that the money raised stays in Merseyside and the North West Region. Long may it continue."
Boxer Price added: "This is a great event for Liverpool and for families too with the kids mini dash taking place also. I'm looking forward to taking part and it will be a great day."
Last year, the Liverpool event drew an entry list of 7,312 people to pip Las Vegas to the World Santa Dash Challenge, and they are hoping to get an even bigger response on Sunday.
The launch for this year's event took place at the shop Rapid where the Liverpool legends paid a visit to and helped a festive window display come to life. They were joined by Simon Ross from Radio City, race Director Alan Rothwell and mascots Robbie Ribbon and Courage Cat.
Liverpool Unites have pledged to raise funds for Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Radio City's Cash for Kids which helps thousands of children and young people suffering from poverty, sickness and physical and mental disabilities in the local area.
Race Director Rothwell added: "Las Vegas is hungry to take the title back and have a huge backing this year.
"I urge everyone to back the dash and keep the title in our city. Last year 7,312 people took part to secure the world title but we'd like this year to be the biggest yet."
