One of my favorite runs has to be the preseason Beach Run at Daytona Beach.

When I was in college, we had two preseasons each year. At the end of each Summer my cross country team would get together a week or two before classes started.

Before each track season, however, we would always spend our Spring Break (which fell in the middle of Winter) down in Florida. Specifically, we would stay at Camp Winona, which is about 20 minutes west of Daytona.
