Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 – Stop 16 – Litchfield 6.6K
The Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 Stop 16 event is a 6.6 kilometer run that begins at the Ariston Café in Litchfield, Illinois. The Ariston Café, built in 1935 and preserved with its neon signage and classic façade, serves as the historic meeting point and course landmark. The café is located at 413 Old Route 66 N, Litchfield, IL 62056.
This stop is part of a multi-stop series along Route 66 that supports ALS awareness. At each stop participants join the lead runner for a shared 2.1 mile Sidekick segment intended as a symbolic gesture of solidarity with people and families affected by ALS. The series provides a single official series medal, with a Route 66 charm awarded for each completed stop to add to the medal.
Event offerings include a custom Stop 16 Litchfield bib, the Litchfield Route 66 charm, an optional event shirt available for purchase during registration, and a post-run celebration with the Spirits Run community. The course description and meeting point emphasize Route 66 heritage and community involvement rather than competitive results. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
