Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 12 Williamsville 6.6K
Stop 12 of the Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 series is a 6.6K run and walk through Williamsville, Illinois, on a quiet stretch of the Mother Road. The course follows a simple, open section of Route 66 with clear pavement and wide Illinois sky, offering an authentic roadside experience that emphasizes the road and the local community.
The stop is part of a statewide series that supports a solo runner covering the Illinois stretch of Route 66 to honor people living with ALS. At this stop, participants join a shared 2.1 mile segment alongside that runner as a symbolic sidekick portion meant to show solidarity with families affected by ALS.
The event description highlights a low‑frills, community driven atmosphere focused on the route and the cause. It notes the feel of classic Route 66 elements such as the historic pavement and the iconic shield. The stop is presented as accessible to a broad range of participants, and as one meeting point among a chain of events that together mark the statewide journey.
