As with all my subdivision run routes, the assumption is that the runner begins at any point along the route and makes *all possible right turns* on roads, except at the edges of the subdivision (there, just turn around). This makes it impossible to get lost, and ensures returning to the start point. By starting at a point along the route which is run both directions, the runner can insert a rest break, assuming they've parked their car at the start/end point. The logic works with all left turns as well.

When I ran this route, I parked at the intersection of Spruce and Hawthorne, thus dividing the route into 9.75-mile and 5.25-mile segments. This approach works at any point on any of my subdivision routes in which the runner passes both ways on a given road.
