Wildwood-The Villages, FL

Running in The Villages means flat, tree-lined roads through the planned community's 32,000 acres of residential neighborhoods, with the Preseason Preview and Tunnel to Towers 5K anchoring the local calendar. Cyclists have better terrain nearby: the Bike City Century Ride and Lake Louisa Summer Road Race Series tap rolling hills 20-30km west around Lake Louisa State Park, while the 51st Annual Cycle Mount Dora offers a scenic loop through the historic orange-grove country further north. The Villages itself is pancake-flat at sea level, so serious hill work means heading into the lake region's gentle 60-100m elevation changes.
