Join us for an exciting and meaningful event at the Chicago Route 66 - 6.6K on Saturday, August 29, 2026! This noncompetitive race kicks off the Spirits Run for ALS 6.6K Illinois Series, celebrating the journey of international endurance runner Enric Casacuberta as he embarks on his epic 301-mile trek down historic Route 66. Set in the vibrant city of Chicago, participants will enjoy a scenic route that showcases the stunning lakefront and iconic downtown landmarks, starting from Addams (Jane) Memorial Park and culminating at the historic OLD Route 66 Begin sign at Adams & Michigan.

This community-focused 6.6K is perfect for runners, walkers, families, and supporters of all ages and paces. As you make your way along the carefully marked paths and sidewalks, you'll be part of a spirited effort to raise awareness and funds for ALS research and advocacy. With volunteers on hand to assist with navigation and safety, we aim to create an inspiring atmosphere that honors both Chicago's rich history and the important cause at hand. Don’t miss this chance to be part of a powerful movement that unites community and purpose!
