How is halfway from Norfolk computed?

Virginia Beach — the meeting town Chesapeake, VA is about 10 min from Norfolk and 33 min from Virginia Beach, the smallest longest-leg of any pair from Norfolk.
What is the longest drive with a halfway guide from Norfolk?
San Francisco, at an estimated 41 h 34 and 2660.3 mi one way — the guide's first meeting town is Hays, KS.
