Clare Gallagher knows about determination. As a professional trail runner, she competes in grueling 100-mile races over rugged terrain. And when she’s not running, she’s focused on an even bigger challenge: climate change. Gallagher’s activism began in 2016. That year, President Trump was elected, and she won the Leadville 100, an ultramarathon through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.
