I’ve just got home from a short trip to NYC and this was one of my favourite things! Obviously Central Park is a must do thing, but it’s so big and it’s easy to miss lots of the fun bits or the cool sights; going on this run takes in loads of the southern half of the park and it certainly gave me ideas of where I wanted to go back to later that day. Plus, you’re running in the iconic CP!! I was going to channel my inner Friends character and ‘run like Phoebe’ but I’ll save that for next time! Anne, our guide, was lovely. Very informative, very friendly and took the time to chat to each person. Mike, who would pop up in various places for photos, was also great- so friendly and welcoming. Overall, I can’t recommend it highly enough!!

Couldn’t think of a better way to see and learn about Central Park. Sarah was very friendly, informative and great company; put me at ease straight away. The pace was comfortable and the sights were great. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Loved it!

I really enjoyed this from start to finish. I wanted to go for a run in Central Park and was glad that I did it with Fit Tours NY. The whole run was fun from start to finish and didn't feel like 5k at all. The guides are full of interesting facts about the park and keep you laughing all the way round. Highly recommend this.
