The Oklahoma Route 66 Midpoint Corridor will be hosting its first-ever Road Rally on June 22 in 11 cities along Route 66 in northeastern Oklahoma.
The towns along the Midpoint Corridor, from west to east, are Edmond, Arcadia, Luther, Wellston, Chandler, Davenport, Stroud, Depew, Bristow, Kellyville and Sapulpa.
The Oklahoma Route 66 Association posted this information about the event:
The starting point for the rally will be The Chicken Shack (232 OK-66, Arcadia, Oklahoma) and cost is $25 per vehicle, which includes breakfast at 8:00 AM check-in.
Vehicles will travel to eleven towns within the corridor and return to The Chicken Shack at 8:00 PM for a dance party, prizes, and giveaways.
“Main Street America is Route 66,” said Jennifer Thornton, Tourism Director of Visit Edmond. “Events like this Road Rally make for an enjoyable day spend on this stretch of Route 66.” […]
“Our first initiative was 100 Miles of Christmas last year. It helped cities along [the] Midpoint Corridor welcome Route 66 travelers over the holiday. The Road Rally plans to expand on that desire to navigate historic Route 66 by adding the thrill of a road rally,” said Ed Gochenour, owner of The Chicken Shack and founder of Route 66 Midpoint Corridor.
Road Rally participants also will receive one free entry into AAA Route 66 Road Fest, which takes place June 22-23 at Expo Square Pavilion in Tulsa.
