Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, FL

Running here is flat and fast along the coast and through Eglin Air Force Base lands—the Crestview XC Fourth of July 5K and the CMSAF Binnicker Memorial Run are the anchor events, with most courses staying below 50 metres elevation. Cyclists face a trade-off: the coastal areas around Destin are pancake-flat and good for steady efforts, but serious hill work requires heading inland toward the Panhandle's pine ridges; the Pink Pirates Cycle of Hope covers 64km on these gentler routes.
