Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 - Springfield 6.6K
This event on 09/11/2026 is Stop 13 of the Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series. It centers on a 6.6K run and walk through Springfield, Illinois, with the route passing through the city’s historic district and along preserved Route 66 pavement.
The course is anchored by the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, where preserved streets and historic homes frame the route. The setting links Route 66 heritage with local historic landmarks and provides a visible connection to the area’s civic history.
The stop includes a shared 2.1 mile segment run with a participant who is completing the Illinois stretch of Route 66 solo in solidarity with people living with ALS. That shared segment is intended as a symbolic sidekick portion that highlights support for families affected by ALS.
Additional event details include registration opening May 20, 2026 and closing June 1, 2026, with a registration fee of $40.00. The series awards a Stop 13 badge for this chapter and presents the event as welcoming a range of ages and paces within the community context.
