The I Love Destin 5K returns for its second year on Feb. 11 to raise money for students at Destin Middle School.

  • The 5K race will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Destin Middle School. After runners take off from the track, the course winds through the Regatta Bay neighborhood before looping back to finish at the school.
