The Seabreeze to Granada bridge loop is about 10.3 miles:
Start and finish at the same point. Run south along Beach St. to
Riverside Dr. in Holly Hill, and proceed on to the Seabreeze
Bridge. Cross the bridge and turn north on Halifax Dr. which turns
into Riverside Dr. in Ormond. Continue on to Granada Bridge and
cross back to start. There are water fountains and restrooms at
the Granada boat launch under the bridge. This can be turned into
an 11 mile run by going to the Seabreeze beach approach and
running to the Granada beach approach, and continue back to the
start.

Beach Course: From the approach at Granada heading south to
Seabreeze Blvd. is about 5 miles. Water at nearly every approach
to the beach, as well as restrooms along the way. If this is
extended to the approach at International Blvd ( old name of
street is Broadway ) it adds about 1 more mile for a total of 6
miles.

For a really nice scenic route, you can go up to Tomoka State
Park, and run along the Old Dixie Highway. Along the road you will
find mile markers painted. However, extreme caution should be used
as there is traffic on this road and it is very isolated in many
areas. You will sometimes be able to see some of Florida's
wildlife, and what Florida looked like years ago.

The Seabreeze to Memorial Bridge ( Orange Street Bridge ) loop
is about 5.3 miles. Starting at Seabreeze Bridge proceed south to
Memorial Bridge on Peninsula or Halifax. Cross to Beach St. and
back across Seabreeze Bridge. Once you cross to the mainland side
there is a sidewalk along the river for a good portion of this
course.
