CLARE GALLAGHER
( running/trekking )

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.

Coined on a dive boat in the Andaman Sea in 2014, the term "earthraging" guides how Clare lives her life. She loves to rage with Mother Earth while simultaneously protecting her. During every ultra Clare races, she’s earthraging. Competitiveness and speed flow thick in her blood, but so does her desire to protect this miraculous little planet we call home.
