Full description

For travelers staying in the Times Square or Midtown West areas, this running tour is a superior option to running on a hotel treadmill. We will take you on a scenic route along the Hudson River pathway down to Chelsea and return via the High Line elevated railway Park. It's an exhilarating way to see some of the best highlights in all of NYC and get your run in at the same time! This is not a race, but rather a guided running tour. Please do not expect to set any personal best records as we will make stops along the way to take in the scenery and take pictures too!
