"Ford has written a well-researched guide that will
prove very convenient for the traveler interested in
maintaining her or his exercise routine. Highly
recommended for all public libraries in the states in
which the aforementioned cities are located [CA, CO,
DC, GA, IL, IN, MA, MN, NY, PA, TX & WA] and for
large public libraries throughout the rest of the
country."

"It's a fitness plan so simple it's stunning. So
simple, in fact, it's disguised as a guide book. Fun
on Foot resonated with me instantly. … While I love
city guide books, there can be a sort of smug
superiority in that type of production. Fun on Foot, on
the other hand, is very accessible and friendly, as
well as informative. In a very real way, Fun on Foot is
a guide book, but it's also much more."

tour Washington DC can now do both with a exciting
new guide book called: Fun On Foot in America's

temperatures, a map to plan your route, and what to
look out for along the way."

"Fun on Foot in America's Cities is ideal for
business travelers, avid runners, active vacationers,
and anyone who likes to explore the urban
outdoors. Most routes are 6 to 10 miles, which at
first blush might intimidate novices, but the routes
are so well chosen, and the Fords' enthusiasm and
expertise so infectious, that when you reach the end
you'll want to start all over again."

"Fun on Foot is a new tome designed to help
exercisers stick to their fitness program while away
from home on business or on vacation. Authors
Nola and Warwick Ford mapped out 50 "irresistible"
running routes in 14 major U.S. cities, using the
criteria of comfort, convenience, attractions and a
worthwhile destination."
New Jersey Star-Ledger
"I like the casual attitude and other readers should
also enjoy this easiness. The history lessons are
very informative and a great addition for runners to
ponder on when moving on foot around the area.
The running routes provide runners with an
interesting selection of city, water, forest, and historic
parkland venues. Runners like choices and the
variety of routes will keep the boredom away. The
route maps with supporting mass transit information
will put runners at ease and it gives a good feeling of
added security for individuals new to the area."
Harry Greco, runner for 40 years and frequent
traveler, Boston
"I like the approach of appealing to the reader’s
sense of and desire to have “fun.” I also like the four
attributes used to evaluate a run. With respect to
Chapter 10 on “Big D”, it hits the nail on the head:
lots of shopping, friendly people, and crazy traffic.
The running routes described are great for locals or
visitors!"
Steven Cox, running addict and eight-time Marine
Corps Marathon finisher, Dallas
"As a runner I found the whole concept to be an
especially appealing one. I lived on the Upper East
Side for about seven years so I am quite familiar
with the Manhattan routes outlined, although I had
never thought of doing both bridges in one run!
Also, in all the time I was there I never really saw all
that much of Brooklyn, so at some point I will be sure
to try out the two routes the authors have come up
with. Basically, I found the book very enjoyable to
read."
Allen Volchuk, Assistant Professor of
Biochemistry and avid runner; formerly of New
York
"The concept of the book is wonderful. I especially
liked how it stressed providing some sort of reward
for each of the runs/walks. Having a carrot at the
end of the stick helps me to keep going on the long
runs, and brunch or a cold beer always does the
trick. The description of the weather conditions from
the Wharf to the Beach Chalet was perfect."
Ric Bremer, San Francisco
"Wow, what an accurate and informative description
of our great city. I learned a bit of history and was
also reminded of two pubs we must visit. The three
routes picked are excellent and the detail of the
descriptions is excellent. Great work!"
