We connect with like minded people from all over the world because of our passion for running as well as the city we call home. Through this reward, we are able to showcase the history and culture of a city while promoting a healthy lifestyle, instilling self confidence and making people feel like themselves. Ideal for the business traveler who is tired of the hotel treadmill, the marathon runner who is training for a race, or the recreational runner who wants to explore new and interesting routes, City Running Tours offers both guided group and personalized runs to accommodate any athletic ability, style, training regimen or specific landmarks. These runs are personal so it will be the running guide along with the registered clients. We can go further than a walking tour, as far as a bus tour and on the roads that most buses and segways are unable to.At City Running Tours our goal is to shape each tour based on our client's needs both as a runner and a tourist and because of this, they love the intimacy, breadth of knowledge, and the unique and local perspective that our running tours offer. Our clients experience a city at street level through the eyes and legs of someone who works, plays and runs in that city. Share your love of running with us as we share our city with you! « less

This was a great tour - we arrived from Australia the night before, and it def helped us beat our jetlag and see a part of New York I'd never been to. the tour was really interesting and our guide was great. It's an easy pace - there are frequent stops, so as long as you run fairly regularly you... More

this was something I stumbled across and with only a few months of training under my belt decided this was for me. Marcus picked me ul at my hotel on 57 and Lex. We took the subway to Canal street. On the way down we discussed the route, chatted about running, what to do in NYC - fountain of knowledge!... More

It was fun and extremely interesting. My guide, Marcus was very knowledgable and gave me heaps of recommendations about New York. I had a great time and the... More

For a total NYC novice, this tour was a great way to see a little bit of the Upper East Side and meet some nice people. Catie was personable and kind and had lots of great knowledge to share, and I enjoyed chatting with the other runners. Fun, easy and cheap way to get a little workout in on vacation,... More

I was met when and where I was told I would be. I was treated respectfully and my guide stunned me with her knowledge of New York. She was also very accommodating with my slower running pace. Without doubt, I'll be doing a tour like this, with this company again. More

City Running Tours provided us with an incredible sport/running experience through Central Park. Our running guide Jill was amazing, she explained the attractions along the route and she was so nice we felt we were talking to a friend we've known our entire lives. The owner Michael was also extremely helpful and he managed to accommodate us for an early... More

I ran the "New York Run" with my personal running guide, Coleman, on a beautiful morning in late November 2011. The run takes you across the Brooklyn Bridge and then through a 'highlights' package of the city. In over twenty years running it was one the most memorable running experiences I have encountered. Coleman was a fantastic running guide, with... More
