- Want to run while on vacation? Here's a suggestion from member Maren Hewes: "I just got back from New York City... There's a company called City Running Tours that takes people on sightseeing runs in several cities (including NYC).
The prices are really reasonable, and it's a great way to get a run in while on a trip. I went on the 8 mile tour of NYC, and it was a wonderful
experience! My guide was really knowledgeable, and I got in a fun workout. I thought the other club members might be interested in this for their travels. They have runs in NYC, Washington DC. Austin, San Diego, Chicago,
and Charleston."
