A Tour of Central Park (and surrounding areas)

Last weekend, I had such a blast with my Athletes to End Alzheimer’s NYC Marathon team! We were given a set of questions with clues and then told to take as many pictures of the options in the surrounding area. With that we were off and the only catch was that we have fun and try to get in as many miles as needed for that day’s run. As promised, here are the highlights of our virtual tour around Central Park. I hope you enjoy them at least half as much as I enjoyed the run!
