Founded in Durango, Colorado, by athletes like you, Tailwind is trusted by the most dedicated athletes—Why? Because Tailwind products are formulated to work efficiently and effectively with your body to optimize performance. Whether you’re chasing the winning goal or blazing down the trails, we’ve got you covered with fuel, hydration, and recovery that is easy to use, digest, and enjoy.
I had never raced a mile in my life. So naturally, I signed up for the Leadville 100 MTB. Go big or go home, right? I had trained long, hard hours on the bike. I had done the work. I had a full stomach, and I was ready. Fast forward 10 hours: cramped, uncomfortable and questioning every life choice I’d ever made, I crossed the finish line and promptly headed for a trashcan where I purged the muesli that had been waging war on my stomach since the starting gun. I was fed up with the wrong fuel, so I followed my gut to something better.
I began chasing the unicorn: crisp, clean, convenient fuel that works with our bodies instead of against them. For months, I devoured the science behind sports nutrition and experimented with powders in my makeshift kitchen lab. Then, after months of testing on the trails and tweaking my formulas, Tailwind Nutrition was born. Because endurance sports take guts. Let’s give ours what they need to run smoothly.
See you out there,
Jeff, Founder and CEO
Situated at the cusp of the mountains and desert, Durango is the ultimate outdoor playground. Not only is Tailwind manufactured right here, our staff tests all our products on long rides of flowing single track and adventures high in the San Juan Mountains. We'll see you on the trails!
