If you are like me and wake up with lots of energy, then there is nothing better than getting up with sunrise and popping to Central Park to have a morning wake up jog.

A running track (1.58 miles) follows the edge of the reservoir (now officially the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir) and lets you experience the same views as Dustin Hoffman in the opening sequences of Marathon Man - the skyline of buildings that surround the park.

The reservoir is located in Central Park between 86th and 96th
