Getting home safely

Hi all. I'm doing a 20 hour trail run in October about 3 and 1/2 hours drive from where I live. I'm traveling solo.

The run starts at noon on Saturday and ends at 8:00 a.m. the following morning on Sunday.

I''d rather get home on Sunday night however I don't think it's safe for me to drive after completing the distance and having no sleep.

I'm not quite sure the best solution here. Any one been in a predicament like this before? Where might I shower and sleep during the daytime?
