Full description
Enjoy a casually paced run through the Lower section of Central Park, including the Dakota Apartments, Strawberry Fields, Bethesda Terrace, The Ramble and more.
The lower portion of the park features the most ambitious landscape architecture ever implemented in the United States and magically escorts the viewer out of the city and into a peaceful park surrounding. There are a few planned stops along the route where your guide will point out items of interest as well as good photo opportunities.
This tour is not a race and is suitable for all running abilities. More than one guide will be provided depending on group size as well as varied paces. Please do not worry - you will not be left behind.
