Participants will then follow the return route West, cross the intersection at Cumberland Ave. and take the next left onto Peavine Alley (first left after 1907 Brewing Company). The course will then follow the parking lot (bear right) to Henry St. where participants will turn right and then immediately left back onto West Main St. The course will continue West until the final turnaround point at the intersection of West Main St. and Fairmont Ave. Participants will finish at the start/finish line.
