Thinking about the Ben Franklin Bridge Tour—any tips?

I'm considering giving the Philadelphia Walk or Run Tour across the Ben Franklin Bridge as a gift. I've heard the views are amazing, and I love that they include a video reel! But I'm a bit worried about the jogging part—what if my friend isn't used to running? Any advice on the experience?

Just got back from the Ben Franklin Bridge Tour!
