Noel Conrad

Noel Conrad ran cross country and track at Harker Heights High School and Killeen High School. He continued as a self-admitted hopeful, walking on at Texas Tech University. He commissioned into the Air Force with a degree in Russian Language and Area Studies and a Spanish minor. Combining his love of traveling and the outdoors, he looks for races in a variety of locations during vacations, much to his family’s dismay. His favorite place to run is still Dana Peak Park along Stillhouse Hollow Lake in Central Texas.

Inspiration

While I enjoy running in cities, it’s the nature, the trails that truly inspire me.

“I’m grateful that there is a cross country book that can be read and understood by a running lover or otherwise.”
