Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 7 Pontiac
This event is Stop 7 of the Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series, held in Pontiac, Illinois on September 4, 2026. It is a community run and walk covering 6.6K and honoring people living with ALS. The event contributes to a collective mileage effort that follows Route 66 across Illinois from Chicago to the Mississippi River.
The stop connects directly with a solo runner who is covering the entire Illinois stretch of Route 66 to honor those living with ALS. At each stop participants take part in a shared segment of about 2.1 mile alongside that runner, creating a visible sign of support during the course.
The venue is in Pontiac at 18700 Old Rte 66, IL 61764. Local murals, museums, and Route 66 landmarks are noted as part of the setting for this stop.
Registration opens May 20, 2026 and closes June 1, 2026. The registration fee is $40.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
