...we started off as satisfied Tailwind Nutrition customers and decided to join the Tailwind Nutrition family to make these amazing products available in Hungary! We work with some incredible Hungarian sponsored athletes to bring Tailwind to as many people as possible.
The two co-founders, Gábor and Dani, are both active trail runners who have been happily using Tailwind products since 2019. Although they were very satisfied with the results of having Tailwind as their main nutrition, they struggled with getting their favorite products, because it wasn't available for purchase in their country, and getting it delivered from abroad challenging and later on even impossible. That's why they decided to collaborate with Jenny, Jeff and the whole Tailwind Team to bring Tailwind to Hungary and make it available for all kinds of athletes here.

Nóri works as a lawyer and runs her own office specializing in family law. Alongside her demanding intellectual work, running has been a part of her daily life for over ten years.
In recent years, she has primarily focused on trail running and competing, achieving excellent results in distances around 50-60 km. Most of her training sessions are done with her dog, Gyogyó, and she diligently incorporates strength training twice a week. Her main goal is to maintain her endurance at a level where she can always say yes to a longer high-altitude run, as this is her favorite way to relax.
Currently, she holds the course record for the UTH Szentendre Trail and, in 2024, placed third at the Mátrabérc Trail with a time of 6 hours and 16 minutes. She has also been successful in international competitions, winning first place in the 50 km race at the Soca Outdoor Festival and securing second place in the 65 km Big Bear’s Ultra.

Competitive sports have been a part of Melinda’s life for 30 years. She began athletics at the age of 12 at KSI as a middle- and long-distance runner and later explored pentathlon and heptathlon. She enjoyed the diversity of movement: not only running and strength training but also hurdling, shot putting, javelin throwing, long jumping, and high jumping.
In 2006, she earned a degree in landscape architecture from the University of Horticulture (later Corvinus University), while simultaneously completing the TFTI sports instructor training program. Following this, she regularly held body-shaping, step aerobics, flexi-bar, xco-trainer, and kangoo classes in various fitness centers.
After her daughters being born, she returned to competitive sports about ten years ago. In 2018, she completed her first marathon, and by 2020, she was once again a registered athlete. In the recent years, she has developed a passion for triathlon, leading her to join the Ferencvárosi Torna Club Triathlon Division and earn her triathlon coaching certification.
Since April 2024, she has been a coach for the Garmin Running Club, a role she greatly enjoys. Each week, a fantastic team gathers for the group training sessions she leads. Melinda has inspired numerous friends, colleagues, schoolmates, and parents to start exercising. She has accompanied many of them at races and takes great pride in being part of their journey to the finish line and sharing in their joy.

The Pope—and Father—of trail running. A race organizer, opinion leader, and scandalous figure. In the forest, foxes and squirrels greet him upfront, which is no surprise, given that he was running on trails before the term “trail running” even existed. He’s the man who has consumed so much sports drink in his life that his veins probably don’t flow with blood anymore.
A man of extremes, he organizes the three biggest trail races in Hungary (Ultra-Trail Hungary, Budai Trail, Vértes Trail Marathon), and then retreats to his quiet home in Vállus, a small village of just 75 people in Zala County. There, he laces up his running shoes and sets off on unmarked paths to make sure he doesn’t run into anyone.
You can read about his running adventures at thecsanya.hu.
