Customer Reviews

Interested in health and fitness? This is a must have....

Fun on Foot makes a fantastic addition to any book collection. It is a cornerstone item if you travel around the US and like to keep fit in some of America's most fun cities. It provides great coverage on routes for casual walkers, joggers or runners. The routes can be incorporated into a leisurely afternoon stroll, or a quick run or jog for the time restricted traveler. My husband and I really benefited from the NYC Central Park route and took advantage of it many times during our visits to the big apple. The maps are great and there are well illustrated notes. Looking forward with great anticipation to the European edition....

Great book for the running enthusiast that travels frequently

I found this book to be well written and easy to read. In addition to the well planned running/walking routes in more than a dozen American cities, the book is full of interesting historical notes on the sites along the routes described. The book will appeal to those interested in keeping in shape while traveling to various cities in the USA. Having lived in New York City for many years, I am familiar with most of the wonderful routes described in this city. I will certainly bring the book along on my trip to Washington in June and other American cities in the future. Allen Volchuk Toronto, Canada
