About the Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 2- McCook 6.6K
This stop is part of a series that traces the Illinois stretch of Route 66, with each stop landing in a different town along the historic road. The course covers the McCook stretch, and the whole series is built around ALS awareness, honoring a solo runner making his way down the full corridor. The purpose is front and center, but the running is real.
After finishing, the Spirits Run community gathers for a post-run celebration. The series uses a charm-based system tied to each stop you complete, so finishing here connects to the larger journey down the road.
