Fit Tours thank you for a fun, really informative and totally enjoyable 5k through Central Park. I would really recommend anyone wanting to run the park to book in with Fit Tours. Our guide Elena was super friendly, loaned us caps because it was raining, ran at a perfect pace for the group and knew lots of fun facts about Central Park that she shared along the way. Definitely a 5 out of 5 from me.

Had a great run! This was the highlight of my trip! Great way to explore the park for the first time! Meredith was great! Having pictures taken while we ran and stopped to talk about various areas of the park was a great way to capture the experience! Highly recommend!
