We booked this before leaving the uk, on arrival the staff were very welcoming and friendly. We went at a steady pace which was perfect for me as I am new to running, at the stops our guide was very informative about each statue/ point of interest. She constantly asked if we were ok and offered water. I loved this fun run and will happily book again on our return to New York. Thank you 😊

Alone it would be impossible to find the curiosities of the Central Park, so beyond doing my 5K workout I learned a lot from my guide Anne, who was very kind and supportive.

We learned so much about the park and had a marvelous experience. Our guide (Anne) was knowledgeable and kept things interesting the whole time. There were multiple breaks for detailed explanations and photo ops—they even provided the photographer (Mike), who was also friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this run/tour to anyone who can handle an easy 3-mile run. My only regret is that I didn’t think to bring cash to tip the guide and photographer at the end—they certainly deserved it.
