About Harvey Nelson

I started my running career in the desert heat of Tucson, Arizona where I was born and raised. I began my freshman year of high school joining cross country only to get into shape for lacrosse in the spring. Early on my coach and I saw my aptitude for distance running and I quit all other sports, after that season, to pursue running. During my high school running career I was on three cross country state championship teams. I had one individual state title and multiple podium finishes on the track. My senior cross country season I was recruited by the then #2 ranked NCAA cross country team Northern Arizona. During my time at Northern Arizona University I got a B.S. in Exercise Science and I was a multiple time Big-Sky All-Conference Athlete in Cross Country and Track and Field at the same time. I accumulated PR's of 14:14 in the 5k, and 29:34 in the 10k. Most recently I ran at the Houston Aramco Half-Marathon and ran a personal best of 1:01:46. Now, after having graduated I am training hard to run a great marathon as well as pursuing my passion for coaching athletes. I hope that I can be a part of your journey and bring out your best running performances yet!
