Audio tours for runners and walkers
Stories about the places you pass, each one starting as you reach it. Every fact checked. Your music keeps playing in between.
Sheep Meadow · mile 5.6 of The Loop: Central Park
At mile 5.6 of The Loop you reach Sheep Meadow. It was planned as a parade ground, but Olmsted and Vaux opposed military use, so it became a sheep pasture. That's one of 16 stories on the run.

How it works

Turns come before you need them. Tours download first, so no signal is fine.

Your music dips, the story plays, the music comes back. The words follow along if you look.

Run it. Learn it. Earn the stamp. Every city has its own.
Real places, real stories
