Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 - Stop 17 - Staunton 6.6K
The Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series continues with Stop 17 in Staunton, Illinois. This event features a 6.6 km run or walk that begins at Henry's Rabbit Ranch, a historic location on Route 66 known for its vintage gas station facade, collection of Volkswagen Rabbits, and live rabbits. The course provides a scenic route through a local landmark often described as a roadside museum and storytelling hub.
This event is part of a larger series supporting a solo run across the Illinois stretch of Route 66 to honor individuals living with ALS. Participants have the opportunity to take part in a 2.1 mile shared "sidekick" segment during the event. This shared portion symbolizes support for families and individuals affected by the disease, ensuring that those on the journey do not travel alone.
The event is open to participants of all ages and paces. The choice of a 6.6 km distance is a tribute to the historic 2,400-mile journey of Route 66. Participants in this stop can earn a specific Stop 17 badge as the series moves toward its final miles in Illinois.
