Team Salomon Canada Captain Praises Holofiber

Ranked number three in the world and with several wins and many races around the globe under his belt, Lawrence Foster is a seasoned veteran of adventure racing, a hot multi-sport co-ed team endurance competition lasting anywhere from 3-5 hours to 10 days non-stop. In addition to being a very strong and accomplished athlete (former elite level mountain biker), Foster was the captain of Rope Rescue for Sault Ste. Marie Search and Rescue Team, the largest volunteer search and rescue operation in North America, and a Reconnaissance Technician/Instructor with the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves. He also ran a sea kayak and rock/ice-climbing guiding company and is an accomplished mountaineer. His incredible wilderness savvy, mental toughness and competitive drive have pushed Team Salomon Canada to new heights.

Just back from a major race in South Africa, Adventure Quest Africa, Foster reported, “It was great to use the Holofiber® socks in the race. Our team covered over 500 kilometers in five days and most of this was on our feet. None of us had major blisters! I also noticed a reduction in the swelling of my feet after the race.” Team Salomon, sponsored by Holofiber sock customer Arriva, won the race by a full day, a significant win for a tactical race.
