Spirits Run for ALS – Wilmington Stop 4
The event on 09/01/2026 is the fourth stop in the Spirits Run for ALS Illinois series, presented as a noncompetitive community 6.6K along Route 66. The route highlights Wilmington landmarks, including the Gemini Giant, and is described as part of a longer 300-mile Illinois journey to raise awareness and funds for ALS.
The event is open to runners, walkers, families, and supporters. Participants are expected to follow sidewalks, pedestrian paths, and marked crosswalks at all times; no streets will be closed. Volunteers are planned to assist with wayfinding and safety, subject to availability.
Organizers note that a strong community turnout could prompt a request for limited road closures to improve participant safety and visibility. The event emphasizes community participation and a visible presence along a symbolic stretch of Route 66 while supporting ALS research and advocacy.
Practical details in the event information include the Route 66 location in Wilmington and the noncompetitive format. The description does not specify official start or finish times. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
