Description

Enjoy an exhilarating "sight-running" tour through the world's most famous urban Park!  After a few warm-up stretches you will be led away from the hustle and bustle of the City streets and enter into the beautiful oasis in the heart of the Big Apple.

During your 4.5 mile run, learn how Central Park came to be and hear the details of it's amazing history. The tour course will bring you to various locations with amazing views of the surrounding skyline, where you can view the contrast between city architecture and the naturalistic escape that New Yorkers consider their own back yard.

The run is led by locally-based guides who will take you through the course at a relaxed pace. You won't beat any personal best times as you make stops along the way to learn about the various monuments and statues that populate the Park.    

This tour is perfect for travelers who want to stay active while away from home and want to enjoy a superior experience to running on a treadmill for their exercise. It is often said that, "You can run on a treadmill anywhere in the world, but you can only run in Central Park when you're in New York City!" This is one of the best things to do in Central Park a run you'll never forget!
