Claire Pate: Instructor

"I believe that life should be fueled by passion. Adventure sports reconnect me to the fundamental building blocks of life -earth, air and water- with an intensity that fires my passion. Sharing this intensity is a primary motivator in my life."

Claire began her own evolution barely two years ago. Unable to run a mile without stopping, she decided to transform herself. Finding a mentor, she learned the elementary aspects of adventure racing. Once she completed her first race, she was completely hooked. Races lasting 9 hours became training grounds for much longer events. She seeks out opportunities to push herself to extreme levels of endurance. As a single mother of two, Claire understands the complexities of fitting time to train into a schedule. Hearing her children excitedly tell tales of mommy's adventurous accomplishments motivates her greatly. Professionally, Claire is the Statewide Health and Wellness Coordinator for the Georgia Department of Corrections, a group exercise instructor, a personal chef and a metalsmith. Claire strongly believes in volunteerism and is very active at her children's elementary school where she is the art team leader emphasizing the use of the arts in education.
