Overview

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.
