A legendary Route 66 landmark — and a milestone in our journey. Welcome to Stop 16 of the Solidarity Sidekick Down Route 66 series — a 6.6K run/walk through Litchfield, home to one of the most iconic and continuously celebrated Route 66 landmarks in America: the Ariston Café.

At each stop, participants join Enric for a 2.1‑mil
