What Reviewers and Local Runners are Saying...
Fun on Foot is terrific!
Bill Rodgers, 4-time winner of the New York City Marathon and 4-time winner of the Boston
Marathon
Fun on Foot in New York is a vigorous, rousing, and expansive springboard for runners
seeking foot-friendly routes in New York City and its surrounds!
Lisa Ondieki, New York City Womens Marathon Winner and record holder for nine years
Nola and Warwick's book Fun on Foot in New York inspired me to walk across the
Brooklyn Bridge and enjoy Dumbo and the Brooklyn waterfront. I've lived in New York all
my adult life and never did this. It was a fabulous experience.
Kathrine Switzer, 1974 winner of the NYC Marathon and author of Marathon Woman
Very well done! A great resource for runners who live in metro New York or who travel
to the area.
Mike Barnow, 30-year veteran coach of elite distance runners, Westchester County, NY
Wow! Not only does it give an accurate description of what our club considers its home,

I just finished reading the chapter on The Bronx and found it to be wonderfully detailed;
in fact there are sections I've not run before but will now consider trying. Well done!

I am extremely pleased by all of his course descriptions. It is a wonderful resource for
New Yorkers and outsiders alike. Enlightening and dead-on accurate.
Alex Gonzales, New York runner for 10 years and 7-time marathon finisher.
As anyone who has ever used a guide book knows, having good information is one thing,
and finding it is another. Fun on Foot handles both and handles them well ... you’ll find
this to be a valuable addition to a home library on things to do and places to go.

This is a really wonderful book! It’s a great tool because there are tons of trails in New
York City.
Matthew Maggiacomo, WNBC TV New York Hear Full Interview
The book may be especially helpful for Long Islanders who want to spend a day walking
or running in the city but with the exception of Central Park fear to tread in Manhattan.
