How to prepare?

  • Weather dependency: Rain or shine, the experience will be running. If conditions are not to your liking, you can reschedule to another run that has space available. In the event of dangerous weather (thunderstorms with lightning, extreme heat or cold, etc.) the provider will cancel the tour and reschedule you.
  • Arrival: Plan to arrive 10 minutes in advance.
  • Parking: It is strongly suggested not to drive to the meeting location, as parking is extremely difficult to find on the streets of NYC, and parking lots in midtown are extremely expensive. The best options to reach the meeting spots on time are either taxi, bus, or subway. All of the meeting spots are easily accessible by mass transit.
  • What to wear: Athletic clothing and good running shoes
  • What to bring: A water bottle
  • Restrooms/ lockers/ changing rooms: There is no bag storage, so come dressed and ready to move! However, the guides wear backpacks and have room to carry small items like keys and phones — just ask during check-in.

Anything else I should know before going on this experience?

  • These tours are non-competitive sight-running tours. Stops will be made at many of the most iconic Central Park landmarks along the way and the history of each of them will be discussed throughout the tour.

Mike was an outstanding guide on our running tour of Central Park. He kept us entertained with his knowledge of the park, the surrounding buildings, and famous NYC people. It was a relaxing way to see Manhattan and we highly recommend this tour.
