From the Organizer
Join us in Gardner, IL as we continue down historic Route 66 to cheer on Enric Casacuberta in his incredible run for ALS awareness. This daytime 6.6K celebrates Gardner’s iconic Streetcar Diner and Two‑Cell Jail, two beloved Route 66 landmarks that capture the spirit of small‑town Illinois.
Bring your energy, your friends, and your solidarity — every step helps amplify Enric’s journey and the cause we all run for.
