Green Ultra Athlete & Entrepreneur: Pushing Limits for the Planet

Coffee with Changemakers

Carole Fuchs is a green ultra athlete, entrepreneur, and climate activist who has climbed some of the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest. As the founder of Feel Run, a circular economy business that creates sustainable sportswear, Carole is passionate about reducing the environmental impact of the sports industry.
We explore her many adventures in extreme environments, including her experiences climbing Everest and the challenges she faced on the way.
She also discusses her latest project, the Great Himalaya Run—a 1,600-kilometer run across the Great Himalayan Trail in Nepal—where she will document the devastating impacts of the climate crisis on both the environment and the local communities.
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Carole about adventures, resilience, climate activism, storytelling, and blazing a new path towards impact.
