About the Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 6- Dwight 6.6K
This stop on a multi-race series following historic Route 66 through Illinois is built around Ambler's Texaco Station, a preserved gas station from the early days of road travel. The route passes the vintage pumps and canopy, so the landmark is part of the run itself, not just the backdrop. The race raises awareness for ALS, honoring a runner making his way down the full Illinois corridor.
Post-run refreshments and a community gathering are planned at the finish. The series carries a charm-collection component, with each stop adding to a growing keepsake, so runners doing multiple stops along the corridor have a reason to come back.
