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!

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.
