BRIDGET NOLAN
Hometown: Mount Airy, MD
Background: I started running track my freshman year of high school and have loved running ever since. I ran track and cross country at Linganore High School and then competed for University of Maryland in 2010-2014. I have continued running since then, but decided to start training more seriously at the end of 2017 when I found PRT!
Racing Competitively Since: 2006
PRs:
5000 m: 17:55.56 (track, ACC Indoor Track Championships, 2013)
6K XC: 21:39.20 (Salty Dog Invitational, 2013)

Highlights: I was really excited when I ran under 18 minutes for a 5K in college!
The Fun Questions:
Favorite Race: Pittsburgh Half Marathon - It is always a fun event!
Favorite Workout: Any workout when I finish it saying “that wasn’t as bad as I was expecting.”
Words to Live By: Do things the right way, not just the easy way.
Why I Choose to Run for PRT: I feel lucky to have found an amazing group of supportive and welcoming runners! It is easy to get myself out of bed early to meet at 6 AM when I know I get to workout with the PRT gang. I have found a group that helps to push me to reach my goals and support me along the way.
Favorite PRT Memory: Curling up in an Amazon box with Erin
What I Like to Do Besides Running: Hiking, surfing, traveling, watching sunsets, binge-watching TikToks, buying plants at Home Depot, eating burritos.
