Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 10 McLean 6.6K
The Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 Stop 10 McLean is a 6.6K run and walk held in the village of McLean, Illinois. The course runs through McLean’s historic corridor and is anchored by the McLean Depot Train Shop at 266 Dixie Rd, reflecting the town’s railroad heritage and Route 66 character.
This event is one stop in a statewide series that supports a runner who is completing the Illinois stretch of Route 66 solo to honor people living with ALS. At each stop participants take part in a shared segment of about 2.1 miles alongside that runner, a symbolic sidekick portion intended to show solidarity with families affected by ALS.
Event features described by the organizer include community focus, railroad‑related landmarks along the course, and a series badge for Stop 10. The race is presented as a community driven meet up, intended for a range of paces and ages. The description emphasizes the local setting, the connection to Route 66 and the depot, and the series purpose of raising awareness and support for those facing ALS.
