The Elite Trail Team (ETT) and Nduranz have extended their partnership for a further three years, with Nduranz continuing to supply fuelling and recovery products to the trail and mountain running team from 2026.
The collaboration began at the start of the 2025 season. Nduranz, an endurance nutrition brand that develops and manufactures fuelling and recovery products, supplied the products that helped ETT achieve a successful 2025 season.
This included wins and podium places at UTMB World Series events such as the Arc of Attrition, Ultra-Trail Snowdonia, and Julian Alps, as well as a fifth place finish at the 50km World Series Final (OCC). ETT athletes also represented their countries at the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships.
Doug Stewart, ETT Founder and Performance Director, said “Our collaboration with Nduranz has been invaluable for the team’s success. Thanks to their high-quality, Informed Sport batch-tested products, our athletes have been able to train hard, recover well, and race to the best of their potential.
“With our new extended partnership, we can continue collaborating with Nduranz to help the athletes develop even more, and sharing our approach and learnings with the trail running community.”
Rebecca Dent, ETT High Performance Dietitian, noted the benefits of the product range. She said “Nduranz gels and drinks with 45g of carbohydrate per unit have been useful in increasing how much some of them take on races, helping to sustain their energy levels.
“We’ve also made a lot of progress on improving recovery thanks to using the Nduranz Regen drink, which is easy to digest and take with them to races or after long runs.”
Nduranz Founder & Chief Executive Officer Valentin Gorsek said “We’ve truly enjoyed supporting ETT athletes and learning more about ultra trail nutrition. We’ve used these insights to advance product development and to create educational content on our blog and podcast. We’re looking forward to doing more together and seeing ETT continue with their current successes.”
The Elite Trail Team is made up of elite athletes from across Europe. It offers these athletes support with a multidisciplinary team of experts such as coaches, nutrition, psychology, sleep, biomechanics and physiology specialists.
The team’s mission is to share this high-performance knowledge with the wider trail running community to inspire and inform runners across the international community and help progress the growing sport.
In 2026, ETT athletes will focus on qualifying for, and competing at, the European Athletics Off-Road Running Championships and the UTMB World Series Finals.
Nduranz’s range includes energy gels, carbohydrate drinks, electrolyte tablets, and recovery formulas.
