Solidarity Sidekick 5K – Supporting ALS Awareness Along Route 66

Event Details

South Harlem Avenue, S Harlem Ave, Lyons, IL

Join Spirits Run Initiative NFP for a special Route 66 community event supporting ALS awareness. As part of our statewide Solidarity Sidekick Tour, we’re hosting a family‑friendly 5K in McCook to cheer on Enric Casacuberta, a runner from Spain who is currently running the entire Route 66—more than 2,400 miles—to raise awareness for ALS.

This untimed 5K welcomes runners, walkers, families, and volunteers. Participants will enjoy a fun, supportive atmosphere while learning about Enric’s journey and the importance of ALS advocacy. All proceeds benefit ALS awareness efforts.

Event Highlights: • Family‑friendly 5K • Meet and support Enric on his Route 66 run • ALS awareness and community engagement • Volunteer opportunities available • All participants receive a finisher medal

Registration: Sign up online and join us for a meaningful morning supporting a powerful cause at www.spiritsrun.fun or runsignup.com

Volunteers: Community members are encouraged to help with setup, hydration stations, and cheering sections.

Let’s come together as a community to support Enric, uplift ALS awareness, and celebrate the spirit of Route 66.
