Clara Brown is a Paralympic bronze medalist, World Champion, and Team USA C3 para-cyclist from Falmouth, Maine. A lifelong athlete, Clara grew up competing in gymnastics, running, and skiing before a gymnastics accident at age 12 caused an incomplete spinal cord injury. After years of rehab, she found her way back into sport as a high school rowing coxswain — but she eventually wanted something that let her compete under her own power.

That spark came in college, when Clara got a modified road bike during her freshman year at the University of Puget Sound. What started as a way to stay active quickly became something much bigger. After connecting with the U.S. Paralympics community, Clara attended a talent ID camp in 2018 and, just two months later, earned bronze in her first international race at the Para-cycling Road World Cup in Baie-Comeau.

Since then, Clara has become one of the most accomplished C3 cyclists in the world, earning World Championship medals across both road and track, representing Team USA at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, and winning bronze in the C1-3 Women’s Road Race in Paris. In 2025, she added another major milestone to the list, winning the Women’s C3 Road Race at the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships in Ronse, Belgium.

INFINIT is proud to welcome Clara back to Team INFINIT and fuel her as she continues racing at the highest level, chasing more podiums, more rainbow stripes, and the next big goal on the road ahead.
