The torch will be handed off to Hope members of local law enforcement at the Guernsey intersection on Highway 67 where they will run the torch into Hope. 

Once in Hope, the caravan and runners will turn left on Elm Street in front of such businesses as Cadence Bank and LaGrone Williams Hardware, proceed to Division Street and turn right at the front of the ROC Enterprises building, make the dash to Main Street before turning in front of Tailgaters Burger Co. 

The group will proceed up Main Street in front of the Hope/Hempstead Chamber of Commerce building. 

The runners will exit downtown through the intersection at Hwy 67 onward to the parking lot of the Rainbow of Challenges administration building located at 500 South Main Street at approximately mid-morning. 

After a short presentation and water break, the runners will exit back to Hwy 67, where the torch will continue its trek to Searcy by way of another stop in Prescott. 

Businesses and community members along the route are encouraged to come outside and show their support for the runners as they pass.
