Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 7 Pontiac
This event is a 6.6K run/walk in Pontiac that serves as Stop 7 of the Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series. The event emphasizes community support for people living with ALS and contributes to the collective mileage of supporters across Illinois as the series follows Route 66 from Chicago to the Mississippi River.
Each stop connects with a runner covering the Illinois stretch of Route 66 solo. At this and other stops, participants join that runner for a shared 2.1 mile segment that functions as a symbolic sidekick portion of the route and underlines the communal nature of the project.
Pontiac provides a Route 66 setting that includes local murals, museums, and landmarks, which form a visible backdrop for the run. Practical details supplied by the organiser include a registration fee of $40.00 and registration open and close dates of 2026-05-20 and 2026-06-01 respectively. No start or finish times are described here. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
