2022 NOMINEES
JOHN NOLAN
John Nolan ran every Mountain Goat Run from his police academy training days thru 2021 EXCEPT for the day his daughter, Delaney, made her First Holy Communion (and he shook his head about that conflict for many years!). Some of you recognize John from his days serving as a Syracuse Police Officer when he worked the six Saturday training runs leading up to race day. Others may recall all the news stories and interviews John appeared in at our request. He told us he'd "do anything we needed" for the Goat, and he did, over and over!
