Cool Running

Tours by NYC Run

You’re like Lola, Gump, DMC. Always on the run. For the fame, for her love, for your life.

So why not get a run for your money from the fit people at NYC Run? The service offers guided running tours so you can sweat and sightsee simultaneously.

Whether you’re a novice (your treadmill doubles as a drying rack) or an athlete, a transplant or homegrown, you’ll learn a thing or two about Gotham history (where the Beats used to hang), urban myths (which buildings are haunted), and unofficial landmarks (where to find the best
burger uptown).

Suit up in spandex and tread through unfamiliar neighborhoods downtown. Fatigue out-of-town guests on the Harlem run. At the very least, jog your memory in the Village. You decide pace, distance, and neighborhoods.

At the end of your personalized tour, you’ll walk away with a souvenir tee, water, nutrition bars, the satisfaction of knowing that a portion of proceeds goes to charity, and insider info you won’t hear on tour buses.

Which means that the only thing you won’t get is the tiring runaround.
