Organiser's Description
A quiet Route 66 shrine and a powerful moment of reflection on our journey.
Welcome to Stop 15 of the Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series a 6.6K run/walk through Waggoner, home to one of the most peaceful and meaningful landmarks on the entire Mother Road: the Our Lady of the Highway Shrine. Tucked along the historic Route 66 corridor, this small, serene roadside sanctuary has offered travelers comfort, reflection, and protection for generations.
This stop is intentionally quieter, more contemplative a moment in the series where the mission feels deeply personal. The shrines gentle presence, the open sky, and the rural landscape create a setting that honors the courage of those living with ALS and the compassion of the communities who support them.
This series also 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 2.1mile shared run, a symbolic sidekick segment that reminds him and every family touched by ALS that no one travels this road alone. Waggoner offers one of the most heartfelt meetup points, where the quiet of the countryside meets the strength of the mission.
