Take the City in Stride

Happy New Year!

Don’t let the name of the business fool you – Grand Rapids Running Tours.

Founder and sole story-teller, Caroline Cook, leads mostly walking tours now.  She also steps on busses and guides visitors and residents alike throughout Grand Rapids and beyond.  All told, she provides walks, runs, bus rides, kayak experiences and presentations. In fact, 90+ topics and 2,000+ events under her belt.

Here’s what’s going on during the winter of 2025…

Do you like FREE tours? For the SEVENTH year in a row, Downtown Grand Rapids Inc and Grand Rapids Running Tours bring you the annual FREE Chilly Challenge – a series of walking tours through downtown Grand Rapids, for which participants are rewarded a $25 gift card for perfect attendance.  For seven Thursdays in a row, meeting at the same time – noon – and place – the lobby of the JW Marriott Hotel –  Caroline will lead you on a unique one hour walk.  The first walk is on January 9, 2025.  No registration necessary.

Or,  to arrange for a private group tour or presentation at a day/time of your choice, contact Caroline directly. 

Run. Walk. Ride. Kayak. Listen.

Love Grand Rapids.
