So a group of us signed up for this thinking we signed up for a race because we wanted to do something in Central Park. We decided to do it anyway after we found out it was a guided tour and not a race since we had already booked the time off. We are so happy we did. You meet by the Plaza and run through Central Park while making stops at a few very interesting locations where the guide tells you about the history. It was so fun! And I learned something even though I'm a local. If you're not an avid runner this is actually a good pace because you make stops, I found it very easy. What's so nice is meeting people and doing this as a group. It was such a great way to start our day. Our guide was Meredith and she was awesome! We learned that this is fun for out of town visitor, so I would say definitely sign up and experience Central Park this way. You won't regret it.

It was a very nice experience for a runner like me to join this tour in Central park. I was really very exited! A big thanks to Mekea - my tour guide - for joining me in this experience! I am highly recommend it!

Absolutely loved it! Great way to explore the park. Very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide (Elena) who ensured we all kept together. Took 1 hour to explore and do the 5K via run//walk/sight see. Lots of photo opportunities. Our guide took photos of us and sent them through via email. It's quite hilly but she allowed rest stops for us to catch our breaths. Even the rainy weather didn't dampen our experience! If you like running, history and seeing new places from a different perspective, this is for you.
