Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 Stop 7 Pontiac
This event is Stop 7 of a multi-stop Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series. It is a 6.6K run and walk held in Pontiac, with the meeting location listed as The Route 66 Roadhouse at 201 N. Mill St. The series follows Route 66 across Illinois from Chicago toward the Mississippi River and focuses on supporting people living with ALS.
The stop links to a runner who is covering the entire Illinois stretch of Route 66 solo to honor people living with ALS. At each stop, participants join that runner for a shared 2.1 mile segment intended as a symbolic sidekick portion of the event.
Pontiac is noted for local murals, museums, and Route 66 landmarks near the event location. The format combines an individual 6.6K run or walk with a brief shared segment that connects this stop to the broader Route 66 series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
