Super Santa Run draws near-record crowd By Ron Giofu A near-record crowd of Santas ran through the streets of Amherstburg again this year all to raise money for environmental projects. The 11th annual Super Santa Run was held Saturday evening with runners and walkers starting and finishing near the intersection of Richmond St. and Ramsay St. and going through King's Navy Yard Park and along Sandwich St. S. in between. Danielle Breault Stuebing, director of communications and outreach services with ERCA, said final totals aren't known yet but they have an idea of what was raised for the Essex Region Conservation Foundation. “We certainly anticipate we'll have well over $12,000 thanks to our generous participants and sponsors,” said Stuebing. “Thank you to Amherstburg.” The crowd of runners was estimated at approximately 450, which Stuebing said was the second most ever.

A crowd of approximately 450 runners and walkers dressed in Santa Claus suits burst from the starting line at the Super Santa Run. The event is a fundraiser for the Essex Region Conservation Foundation, who will use the money for tree planting and trail development. drew about 500 runners but inclement weather in recent years kept participation down. This year's total was “a really big increase over last year,” she said. “I think the weather is a little more favourable,” said Stuebing, adding she hopes more and more people are learning about the run, the foundation and what the money is used for. There were sports teams, schools and groups in this year's Super Santa Run, with proceeds going towards tree planting and trail
development. The run is held in conjunction with WRACE – Walkers and Runners around the County of Essex. Stuebing said it is an “amazing kickoff” to the Christmas season. “The partnership with the River Lights Winter Festival and the Town of Amherstburg is just phenomenal,” she said. “When the runners finish, they can explore the River Lights festival and have some fun.”
