Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 – Stop 14 – Divernon 6.6K
The event is a 6.6 kilometer run/walk taking place in Divernon, Illinois on September 12, 2026. The course begins at a restored historic gas station located at the corner of Brown St and Reichert Rd, a site noted for its classic pumps, bright signage, and Route 66 character.
The 6.6K course is planned around the Route 66 setting and uses the restored station as a focal point for the start area. The location reflects preserved roadside details from the Route 66 era and serves as a visible point along the series.
This stop is part of a multi-stop Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series. The series includes a shared 2.1 mile segment at each stop in which participants run alongside a solo runner who is covering the Illinois stretch of Route 66 to honor people living with ALS. The shared segment is presented as a symbolic show of support for families affected by ALS.
The event description notes community orientation and vintage Americana features at the site. It identifies the stop as Stop 14 in the overall series and connects the 6.6 kilometer distance to the Route 66 theme. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
