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.

The Destin Middle School Parent Teacher Student Association organizes the family-friendly event. Proceeds will go toward new classroom technology for the school.

Participants can sign up online for $30 before Jan. 28 to receive a race T-shirt. On-site registration on race day also will be available. The entry fee covers participation, shirt for early registrants, post-race refreshments and activities.

From 6:30-8:30 a.m., runners can pick up packets at the school, located at 4608 Legendary Marina Drive. DestinFM will provide music, the school will host a silent auction, and awards will be presented to top finishers. Food trucks also will be on site.

Online registration is open at www.ILoveDestin5k.itsyourrace.com. For more details, runners can follow the I Love Destin 5K Facebook page.
