Rachel Drake found her love for movement in the outdoors during her childhood in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. An accomplished long-distance runner, Rachel is a top-ten Western States 100-mile race finisher, a Black Canyon 100-kilometer champion, and placed second at the Golden Trail World Series.

Rachel is most proud of pulling off her 100-mile Western States debut the same week she started her residency as an anesthesiologist. In addition to her many accomplishments, she is a co-host of the Trail Network Podcast and a mom to a wonderful little guy.
