Highlights

It is time to cross "Running Through Central Park" off your bucket list!! This is 4.6-mile (approximately 7.4 km) tour through the lower section of the Park was designed with exciting stops along the route to interest all runners and is paced to accommodate all running levels. From the Dairy to Bethesda Terrace and Strawberry Fields, up through the Ramble, to the site of Seneca Village, across the lower section of the Reservoir, down through the Zoo and much more. You will walk away with a unique perspective of the park, and because you get your miles in…feeling like yourself. It is not always about what you see when you are in the park but more the feeling you get as you wind your way through, making lasting memories through the stories you hear, the photos we take and our connection through running.

About New York City

New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.

Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
