About the Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 - Stop 16 - Litchfield 6.6K
The course starts at the Ariston Café, a Route 66 diner with a neon sign and a classic facade that has been drawing road-trippers for decades. Part of the run overlaps with the path of Enric Casacuberta, who is making the full Illinois stretch solo to raise awareness for ALS. Running beside him for that shared segment is the point of the day.
The post-run gathering brings together the broader series community, so you are likely to meet people who have done other stops along the route. The Ariston sets the backdrop, which means the start area has more character than a typical parking lot.
