The beauty of Central Park and its 58-miles of paths are enough to keep any running-enthusiast happy. Runners looking for a community of other like-minded nature-lovers and park-goers should consider joining the Central Park Running Group on WalkJogRun.net.
This group offers members a map of the official Central Park 8-mile loop which starts at the southwest corner of the park at Columbus Circle. It continues around the outer loop of the park, then makes an extra loop around the 72nd Street Transverse and goes back to the start.
The running group also provides a community environment for runners to share their favorite running experiences in Central Park.
