Tailwind Nutrition has announced its 2023 Tailwind Athlete Team, which includes 22 athletes whose specialties range across the spectrum of endurance sports.
The team includes five-year Tailwind athlete – ultrarunner Courtney Dauwalter, who recently won the 2023 Bandera 100k race in Texas, setting a new women’s course record in 8 hours and 59 minutes.
Dauwalter’s win earned her an automatic spot to compete in this year’s Western States 100. Fellow Tailwind athlete John Kelly ran in the front group for much of the race, ultimately finishing 6th in the men’s field.
In 2022, the Durango-based nutrition brand celebrated its 10th anniversary. Courtney Dauwalter and John Kelly are just two of the 22 elite athletes that Tailwind is supporting in 2023. The ambassador team includes a cast of runners, cyclists, skiers, and triathletes.
“We are both excited and proud to have such a talented and genuine group of athletes representing Tailwind for the 2023 season,” said Maggie Guterl, Tailwind Athlete & Events Manager.
“We are constantly impressed by the work they put into their achievements. Tailwind is honoured to be supportive of athletes that make changes not only in their sport but the communities that make those sports what they are.”
