Solidarity Sidekick down Route 66 - Stop 12- Williamsville 6.6K

A quiet stretch of the Mother Road with a powerful message of solidarity.

Welcome to Stop 12: Williamsville, a 6.6K run/walk through the small but mighty village where Route 66 cuts through open sky, clean pavement, and timeless simplicity. This stop is all about authenticity — no frills, no clutter, just the road, the shield, and the community standing behind the mission.

This series stands in solidarity with Enric Casacuberta, who is running the entire Illinois stretch of Route 66 solo to honor those living with ALS. At each stop, participants join Enric for a 2.1‑mile shared “Sidekick” segment — a symbolic reminder that no one travels this road alone. Williamsville offers one of the most peaceful and meaningful meet‑up points, where the simplicity of the landscape mirrors the clarity of the cause.
