Clare Gallagher

ABOUT:

Clare is professional trail runner and passionate environmentalist. She loves running fast, but is even hungrier to grind up relentlessly steep mountains. Combining trail running with public lands advocacy and climate change awareness are Clare's biggest goals and constant work. Good thing she's stoked all the time.

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS

1. Winning 2017 CCC 101k Chamonix, France and setting course record.

3. Winning the inaugural Thailand Mountain Ultramarathon in the Golden Triangle in 2014.
