Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 11: Lincoln 6.6K
This event is a 6.6K run/walk in Lincoln, Illinois, held along a section of historic Route 66. The course passes the Railsplitter Covered Wagon sculpture at 1750 5th St, a large covered wagon with a figure of Abraham Lincoln seated atop it, which serves as a prominent landmark for the stop.
The stop is part of a multi‑stop statewide series conducted in solidarity with a runner completing the Illinois portion of Route 66 to honor people living with ALS. At each stop participants join the runner for a shared 2.1 mile Sidekick segment intended as a symbolic act of support and companionship.
Event benefits and items described for this stop include an official series medal, a Lincoln Route 66 charm to add to the medal for completing the stop, and a custom Stop 11 bib. Event shirts are optional and are available for purchase during registration. The event also includes a post-run gathering with the Spirits Run community and publicity that supports ALS awareness and the broader Route 66 mission.
The route is described as a scenic corridor through Lincoln and emphasizes community participation and remembrance along this stretch of the Mother Road. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
