Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 - Stop 16 - Litchfield 6.6K
This event is Stop 16 in a multi-stop Route 66 series held in Litchfield, Illinois. The on-course start is at the Ariston Café, a restaurant built in 1935 that is part of Route 66 history and sits near the Litchfield Museum & Route 66 Welcome Center at 334 North Historic Route 66, Litchfield, IL 62056.
The series supports a solo run of the Illinois stretch of Route 66 to honor people living with ALS. Each stop includes a shared 2.1 mile "Sidekick" segment where participants run together as a symbolic gesture of solidarity. Participants who complete stops earn a series medal with a Route 66 charm added for each town.
Event features listed by the organizer include optional event shirts, a custom Stop 16 Litchfield bib, a Litchfield Route 66 charm, and a post-run community celebration. The in-person stop is described as highlighting historic Americana, including neon signage and classic architecture associated with Route 66. A virtual 6.6K option is offered for those who choose to participate remotely. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
