Mike Pelak Culture Runs

About our tours.

Culture Runs is a NYC-based, fun and healthy jogging tour of the filming locations from some of your favorite movies and TV shows, and culturally important music-related locations, with an emphasis on punk rock.

This is not your typical slow-paced walking tour through a chaotic Times Square, or riding on a crowded tour bus squinting up at the Empire State Building.

We're going to get some miles in, get you a little off the beaten path, and see some of the places that make NYC great. 

The pacing will be modest, at about an 11-12 minute/mile pace, but no one will be left behind.

There will be plenty of opportunities to take pictures at each location.
