Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 12: Williamsville 6.6K
This event is a 6.6 kilometer run/walk held along a quiet stretch of historic Route 66 through Williamsville, Illinois. It is one stop in a multi-stop series along the Illinois portion of Route 66 that raises awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by supporting a runner who is covering the Illinois route solo; at each stop participants complete a shared Sidekick segment of about 2.1 miles alongside that runner.
The course emphasizes an uncluttered, authentic Route 66 setting with open road, clear pavement, and rural surroundings. Registration for the series includes an official series medal; each completed stop adds a Route 66 charm to the medal. Event shirts are optional and available for purchase during registration.
Event provisions listed for this stop include a custom Stop 12 Williamsville 6.6K bib, a Williamsville Route 66 charm for the series medal, post-run refreshments, and a community gathering. The stated meeting location is Die Cast Auto Sales (The Old Station / Frank’s Route 66 Place), 117 N Elm St, Williamsville, IL 62693.
The event is presented as community-driven and aims to honor families and supporters affected by ALS while moving along a historic roadway. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
