Overview
I am an avid runner who has been hitting the pavement and paths of Central Park for the past two decades. It is my favorite part of the city and my backyard. I wouldn't want to live here without it. Join me on my running tour and I will show you some of the most beautiful, magical, and restorative parts of the park that most visitors to the city don't get to see. Learn some history, say hello to where the neighborhood of Harlem begins, enjoy some nature, see some waterfalls. Come and explore the top of the park with me!
