Where to run in Destin, Florida?

Since I don't care for running on the beach, I am wondering if there are good places to run around there. I will be there on vacation in two weeks and was hoping to be able to find running paths or trails somewhere in the area. Thanks!

Re: Where to run in Destin, Florida?
There are some really nice areas. I usually run along 98 (main drag) as little as possible, and try to drop down along the shore. Unfortunately, none of the roads go all along the shore. I have gone down along Oskaloosa Island (Gulf Shore Blvd).

If you're interested in a group run, try these folks. I e-mailed them and they were very helpful, though I never ran with them. At the very least, they might be able to help you with a route.

Enjoy your visit. That's a great place!

...I LOVE Destin and the panhandle... where ever you end up running...run early, early, early....it can get oppressively humid down there.....
