Get Your 6.6 on Route 66
Get Your 6.6 on Route 66 is an annual event organized by CORE of McLean, a nonprofit organization. The event features a point-to-point course that takes participants along a historic section of the famous Route 66, also known as the Mother Road. The race covers a distance of 6.6 km (4.1 miles) and is open to both runners and walkers.
The course begins in Funks Grove and concludes in McLean, Illinois. To assist with the point-to-point logistics, a shuttle service is provided to transport participants from McLean to the starting line in Funks Grove. The finish line is located at a park situated under the old water tower in McLean.
Proceeds from the event are used to benefit the local community of McLean. Previous editions of the race have funded local projects, including the development of the park where the race now finishes. The event is typically held in late August and relies on the support of local volunteers and sponsors.
