Craig Curley is a Native American distance runner. Born in Kinlichee, Arizona, he grew up in a rural setting on the Navajo reservation.[2] He was the fastest male high school runner in the state of Arizona during the 2005 cross country season. Curley's trajectory took an unusual route, as he declined offers to compete with big Division I schools in favor of Pima Community College, for whom he broke the 5000-meter previously set by former Pima standout Abdihakem Abdirahman.[3] After his two-year spell in community college, Curley transitioned to the marathon.
