Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 - Stop 18 - Old Chain of Rocks Bridge 6.6K
This event is a 6.6 kilometer run/walk at the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge in Granite City, Illinois. It serves as Stop 18 and the final chapter of the Illinois segment of the Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series and marks the crossing where Route 66 meets the Mississippi River and the Illinois-Missouri state line.
The bridge is described as a mile-long span with a mid-river bend, visible trusses, and panoramic views of the river below. The program includes a pre-race community gathering at the Illinois bridge entrance, a run that takes place at sunset, and a planned 2.1-mile shared segment as the Illinois journey concludes. The event also emphasizes support for ALS awareness and recognizes the role of friends, families, and supporters who accompany those affected by ALS.
A registration fee of $40.00 is listed. The description notes the event is part of a statewide series that uses 6.6 kilometers to symbolize the length and legacy of Route 66 and the long road families travel with ALS. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
