You will be heading back to Uptown after touring the oak-lined Foxcroft community near Sharon Road and Arbor Way. As you near the Uptown area, you will pass through historic Myers Park, where you will see Queens Road meet Queens Road (West). Then it's on to the finish line near the corner of Morehead and Caldwell Street.
