Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 - Stop 17 - Staunton 6.6K
This is a 6.6K run/walk held on 09/15/2026 in Staunton, Illinois, listed as Stop 17 in the Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series. The course begins at Henry's Rabbit Ranch on Historic Old Route 66 (1107 Historic Old Route 66).
Henry's Rabbit Ranch features vintage signage, a gas station façade, VW Rabbit vehicles, and live rabbits, all of which are part of the Route 66 roadside character that the course passes. The event highlights local Route 66 history and the roadside museum elements around the ranch.
The series stands in solidarity with a runner covering the Illinois stretch of Route 66 to honor people living with ALS. At each stop participants join the runner for a shared 2.1-mile segment that represents mutual support for families affected by ALS.
Registration for this stop carries a fee of $40. The event is presented as community oriented and open to a range of paces and ages, emphasizing a shared segment and Route 66 storytelling rather than competition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
