Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 – Stop 16 – Litchfield 6.6K
Stop 16 of the Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series is a 6.6K run and walk through Litchfield that begins at the Ariston Café, located at 413 Old Route 66 N. The Ariston was built in 1935 and is maintained with its classic façade and neon signage. The organizer describes it as one of the long running restaurants on Route 66 and a visible piece of the road's history.
The event is part of a multi stop series along Route 66 in Illinois and includes a shared 2.1 mile segment with a solo runner who is covering the Illinois stretch to honor people living with ALS. The 6.6 kilometer distance is presented as a symbolic measure tied to the broader Route 66 journey and to the experiences of families affected by ALS.
The description notes historic Americana at the meeting point and frames the stop as community driven. The event is open to different paces and ages and is positioned as one point in a statewide sequence of runs that together support ALS awareness and solidarity.
