Excellent experience from start to finish! Great communication pre-booking (Mike) and pre-run (guide Meredith), everything on time and as described! Meredith was friendly and informative. Photos taken along the route by Mike and Meredith were an added bonus. A fantastic alternative to the more common walking and bike tours. No better place to get out for a morning run than Central Park! Highly recommended!
