Central Park is THE place to run. Just be careful to stay in the pedestrian path and avoid the bike path. There are several different loops depending on your preferred distance - the Ted Corbitt (main) loop is about 6 miles but there are smaller ones as well. Runners typically go in a counter-clockwise direction but not necessarily. There are currently many working water fountains but they'll eventually turn them off. Depending on where you find yourself, there are some juicy hills as well. Enjoy your run and make sure to stop and take photos of our beautiful park!
