Justin Snair
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Justin ran cross country and track in high school, but his running career was put on hold after he joined the Marine Corps and deployed to Iraq. Once out of the military, Justin enjoyed adventure racing, road biking, and “mountain running” as opposed to most sane people who prefer roads, but he stayed away from serious training and racing thinking his glory days of running PRs were behind him. But following a move to DC in 2012, this runner of older vintage joined some area running groups and realized he had unfinished business with the 5K. After a few months of workouts with Coach Jerry and gaining an understanding of what “easy day” means, Justin was able to run a time trial 10 seconds off his 5K PR, which he ran in 2002. Justin is excited to be a part of GRC and looking forward to a series of his PRs running for his new team. Justin works on public health preparedness projects for a non-profit in DC.
