About the Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 10- McLean 6.6K
This stop sits in McLean, a small village along Route 66, and the course runs through its historic corridor past railroad heritage, including the old depot and crossing signs. The route exists because of a larger mission: a solo runner named Enric is traveling the full Illinois length of Route 66 to honor people living with ALS, and at each town, participants join him for a shared segment.
The post-run gathering brings the broader series community together in town. The course distance itself is a deliberate nod to the long journey ALS families travel.
