The Lincoln Highway route is included in the Mileage Challenge program. It will take participants on a virtual trip across 123 miles of the historic Lincoln Highway in Illinois.
Lincoln, Illinois, is the only town that was named for Abraham Lincoln before he became president. As a young man, Lincoln was known to walk miles to borrow a book and walk miles to return it.
