Spirits Run for ALS 6.6K - Wilmington
The event on September 1, 2026 is Stop 4 of the Spirits Run for ALS 6.6K Illinois series. It is a noncompetitive, community-focused 6.6K that welcomes runners, walkers, families, and supporters at all paces. The stop is part of a multi-stop, 300-mile Illinois journey intended to raise awareness and funds for ALS research and advocacy.
The Wilmington route highlights the Gemini Giant and uses sidewalks, pedestrian paths, and marked crosswalks for the entire course. No streets will be closed for the event. Volunteers will assist with wayfinding and safety; volunteer availability may vary. If community turnout is strong, organizers may submit a request for limited road closures to improve safety and visibility.
The description emphasizes community participation, a visible Route 66 landmark, and the event's role within a longer fundraising series. The setting and course control measures focus on pedestrian routes rather than full street closures. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
