I was amazed to read about "Running from the Paparzzi" tour in Los Angeles. The tour is one of a selection of running tours of scenic Los Angeles offered by Off 'n" Running. Running from the Paparazzi takes in a 4 mile route from Wiltshire Boulevard to Rodeo Drive passing Hollywood while avoiding the forever flashing paparazzi. What's not clear to me is if a posse of actors is following the tour donning the mantle of reporters pretend to chase the tour participants so they feel like hounded celebrities.

Well if you are able to run for 4 miles and willing to pay $60 for the experience, the price includes a specially designed T shirt, a bottle of water, fruit and a cup cake, better book fast as the tour is very popular. I think I'd be taking a leisurely self guided walking tour.
