Does it count if one actually hasn't run the race yet? I think, of the area races, the Double Bridge Run in Pensacola would be my favorite but I keep MISSING it, for CRYIN' OUT LOUD !! I have actually driven the course so I know what it might be like but one can't really say without actually running it.
On this side of the state line, I really liked the now retired Lung Run around Langan Memorial park. I prefer loop courses to out-and-backs and also like the park scenery and the rolling terrain.
I wouldn't say I like the Joe Cain course but it's a great place to run fast. The semi-loop/ semi-out and back structure gives you a feeling of exactly where you are and how far there is to go. Also, The roads are in pretty good shape most of the way and I do really like that long drive home down Canal Street. That's when you get to see who's got it and who doesn't. All three Joe Cain's I've run have had memorial battles down that last 1000 meters.
