There are $2$ runners on the perimeter of a regular hexagon, initially located at adjacent vertices. Every second, each of the runners independently moves either one vertex to the left, with probability $\frac{1}{2}$, or one vertex to the right, also with probability $\frac{1}{2}$. Find the probability that after a $2013$ second run (in which runners switch vertices $2013$ times each), the runners end up at adjacent vertices once again.
