Return to the city center via this and 16th Avenue . As the half marathon runners circle the Tennessee State Capitol and head straight to the finish line at LP Field on the right bank of the Cumberland River , the marathoners continue north on a loop through Buena Vista Park and Ted Rhodes Park. On the way back they pass Bicentennial Mall State Park before switching to the right bank of the Cumberland River for the final quarter. Head east into Shelby Park and then walk downriver to the destination at LP Field.
