"Mother Road Spirit" Award

 

An important part of the overall race experience for a participant is the support and encouragement along the 6.2 mile course. We want the Route 66 10K to be FUN for both runners and spectators. So, this year we are creating special SPIRIT STATIONS along the course where groups can dress up and go crazy to help encourage the runners as they pass and get them across the finish line.

Play your favorite music, make banners or signs, create a unique theme…do whatever you want to make it fun and exciting for both your SPIRIT STATION group and the runners! SPIRIT STATIONS must be registered to be eligible for cash prizes, so sign up your group today!
