First, a huge thank‑you to — without this celebration, I don’t know if we ever would’ve met and , which sparked this entire event. What a gift. I hope this becomes an annual tradition… maybe not 18 runs in 19 days every year, but a weekend series in 2027 is definitely on my radar.

Today’s sponsor lineup includes:

💧 DryWater
⚡ Nuun Hydration
☕ Laird Superfood
🍫 Mezcla
🧻 DUDE Wipes
🍹 tastesalud
🧊 Saint James Iced Tea

And that’s just the national brands — we have so many incredible local vendors who donated items that Facebook won’t let me tag all at once. Just know this:

Every event is special. Every event is community. Every event supports a cause that matters — Route 66 preservation, ALS awareness, Never Forget, Alzheimer’s support, and more.

This is an epic run, and we are so excited to be part of it.
Let’s keep moving, keep going, and keep lifting each other up along the Mother Road. 🌎💪!

Laird Superfood has joined our sponsor list for the Solidarity Sidekick event in Joliet! YAY!
