We’re alive because we are in movement… we are a species in transit… we’re never still, we are nomadic…

running trails in Catalonia, Spain
jd hixson enjoys running long distances over sensuous terrain.
Earlier in life, he earned both Master and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees from The Juilliard School, appearing for years on many acclaimed stages around the world, conducting some of the finest orchestras in North America, Europe and Russia, and working with many of the greatest artists of 20th/21st century classical music. Eventually, however, he found himself much more fulfilled out on the hills and trails in his trusty Salomon gear than on gilded stages in a tuxedo and much happier covered in mud than choking in the seemingly requisite and cloying fog of Chanel No. 5 at interminable champagne receptions.
With future sights set on Chamonix, he is currently training for UTMB’s next Grand Trail du Saint-Jacques (with recovery plans set for Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse).
