Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 8 Lexington 6.6K
This event is a 6.6K run/walk through Lexington, Illinois, following a section of the historic Route 66 corridor. The course passes Memory Lane, a preserved stretch of the original road that features historic surfaces and roadside character associated with the Mother Road.
The stop is part of a multi-stop series along Route 66 in Illinois. At this Lexington stop, participants take part in a shared 2.1-mile segment alongside a solo runner who is completing the Illinois stretch to raise awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The shared segment is presented as a symbolic “sidekick” portion to show community support for people and families affected by ALS.
The event description notes community focus and the connection between Route 66 history and contemporary support efforts. The listed venue address is 23639 Old Rte 66, Lexington, IL 61753. Registration details were provided by the organizer for the series; the event is framed as one stop within a statewide effort that links multiple towns and offers a commemorative Stop 8 badge for this location.
