The North Face athlete puts family first on and off the trails

Since then, Forand has used running to connect with nature, find balance while supporting his family and give back to his community. Running for family and communityAlthough he has been a professional athlete with The North Face for four years, his relationship with the brand dates back nearly six years. Forand says the support he has received from The North Face has eased the pressure that often comes with competing at the highest level. “I’ve been with The North Face longer than any other sponsor,” Forand said. I like to say that nobody can beat someone with a smile on their face, and that’s the mindset I’m bringing to Chamonix.”
