Why We Love This Unique Experience
New York City Experience Gifts: Start your morning off right with a guided fun run through NYC. Run for one hour along the Hudson River and return via the High Line.

As you follow your experienced guide, you'll take in the iconic sights of New York City (of course stopping to take photos!) and make your return via the Highline elevated railway park. Over the course of this 5k run, you'll take in some of the best sights NYC has to offer - all before the day has even begun!
This casual running tour of Hudson River and the High Line makes for a thoughtful gift for a runner. It also makes for a fun way to kick start a day of sightseeing in the Big Apple!

About
Perfect 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 to the Hudson River pathway down to Chelsea where we will return via the High Line elevated railway Park. It's an exhilirating 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!
FAQ
Activity FAQs
Is this a race?
No, Fit Tours are non-competitive sight-running tours. We make stops at many of the most iconic Central Park landmarks along the way and talk about the history of each of them. Our active sightseeing tours will show you Central Park in an up-close and detailed way that’s unlike any other. You’ll quickly learn why we’ve been called “the ultimate NYC fitness experience”!
Can walkers sign-up?
Except for the Sunrise Yoga Tour, each of our tours involve a good deal of running, so you’ll need to be able to keep up with the group to hear the guide. Our pace is typically 9-10 min/mi. If that seems too fast for you, another option would be to sign up for one of our private runs (where we run at your pace!) or join the Sunrise Yoga Tour where we combine a good brisk walk with stretching and basic yoga poses.
How long are the tours?
Each of our tours last approximately 1 hour. Sometimes we finish 5 or 10 minutes earlier or later, depending on the overall pace of the group.
Can I run with a jogging stroller?
Although we’ve never had one, Jogging strollers are welcome. There are two large staircases along the course, but we’re happy to help carry strollers.
What's the longest distance we run without stopping?
There are a couple of legs of the 5K Fun Run that are just under .5 mi.
Do you offer bag storage?
We don’t have bag storage, so come dressed to run! However, our guides wear backpacks and have room to carry small items like keys and phones — just ask during check-in.
I didn't get a confirmation!
There is a confirmation e-mail sent from our booking company, Fare Harbor, immediately following your registration. If you haven’t received a confirmation e-mail then something is wrong and you should call us to confirm asap! They also send you a reminder e-mail 24 hours prior to your tour.
What happens if it rains?
Each of our runs is held rain or shine! If conditions are not to your liking, you can re-schedule to any of our other runs that have space available. In the event of dangerous weather (thunderstorms w lightning, extreme heat or cold, etc.) we will cancel the tour and if there aren’t any other tours that fit your schedule, you will receive a full refund.
