Claire Green

Claire Green is a runner and coach living it up in San Francisco, California. Coming from a long line of runners, you could say that running is in her blood. Both of her parents ran track for Cal Poly before becoming high school coaches, and her little brother graduated in 2023 as an All-American for the University of Washington. Claire herself ran track at the University of Arizona (Bear Down!) where she was also a three-time All-American.

Claire is currently in her third year as an NCAA Division I cross-country and track & field coach at the University of San Francisco. She competes for the Peninsula Distance Club and is coached by Dena Evans. When she is not running or coaching, you can find her on the nearest dance floor grooving the night away.
