Adventure racing is one of the hardest sports out there - racing for days on end through difficult terrain with next to no sleep, kayaking, running, mountain-biking and more. That's why when Murray Thomas, leader of the team now known as 'Team Bridgedale Socks', approached us for sponsorship a few years back we figured he & his team would be the ideal test for the world's best socks.

Murray has raced in every Southern Traverse, and has been joined by some veritable sporting legends in the time we've been sponsoring him. Click the following links to read about their exploits
