The Route 66 Roadhouse Spirits Run

Step onto the Mother Road for the Route 66 Roadhouse Spirits Run, a fun and easygoing 5K that celebrates one of Illinois’ most iconic stretches of highway. This out‑and‑back course starts and ends at Route 66 Roadhouse, guiding runners toward a local cemetery before looping back for a post‑run celebration. The route is simple, flat, and friendly for all paces, making it perfect for walkers, joggers, and runners alike.

When participants return to the Roadhouse, they’ll enjoy a drink and a bite included with registration, redeemable with their bib tabs. Spectators are welcome to cheer on their runners and enjoy the Roadhouse atmosphere on their own.

This event is part of the 102‑county Illinois Spirits Run Series, bringing community, local flavor, and a touch of Route 66 nostalgia to towns across the state. Join us for a spirited run and a taste of classic Americana.
