Our mission

Welcome to the official website of the Danubius Track Club (DTC)! The DTC was established at the end of August 2024 with the goal of creating Hungary's first elite running and athletics community, independent of any clubs, aiming to break records once thought unbeatable and to achieve peaks considered unattainable. Our mission is to build an internationally competitive, recognized, and reputable club that will also benefit domestic athletics. We believe in the endless love for athletics and running that unites us all. Our goal is to significantly improve the perception of the Queen of Sports in Hungary through better understanding and growing success in the near future. Our holistic project covers the following areas:

An Elite Community: The Danubius Track Club

We aim to build a young, talented elite team, eager for future success, for which we want to provide the necessary material, technological, and knowledge-based resources for uninterrupted development with the help of our sponsors, along with moral recognition. While our members live in different parts of the country and compete under various club colors, a few things naturally bind them together. A shared passion for athletics and the goal of becoming the best in their event one day connects them. We place great importance on recognizing the next generation of domestic talents and helping them effectively reach the international stage. We believe that gathering talented young athletes in a community where they can learn from and inspire each other is crucial. Our goal is for our community to become a leading platform for knowledge-sharing in Hungarian athletics.

A Podcast on Athletics: Danubius TC presents: The Metric Club

We believe that a sport’s positive perception lies in the flow of information about the sport and the beneficial image that emerges from it. We launched The Metric Club, a regularly appearing podcast series, aimed at sharing the latest news in the sport with the domestic running and athletics community and entertaining the lovers of the sport. The Metric Club strives to feature and introduce exceptional figures of the sport in Hungary week by week. Our podcast series is available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Consulting and Professional Support: The NCAA Advisory Program

One of the ambitious missions of the Danubius Track Club is to help Hungarian young athletes gain admission to elite American universities. The American higher education system has been uniquely distinguished by its exceptional collegiate sports system for decades. It is no surprise that student-athletes from all over the world come to American universities, raising the level of their championships. With years of experience in the American secondary and higher education system, our team—consisting of Ferenc Kovács Somo (Woodberry Forest School, Harvard University), Dániel István Vági (future student at Azusa Pacific University), and Darius Silaghi (ELTE)—believes that the four years spent in the U.S. can be a defining springboard for young athletic talents toward a professional career, both as an athlete and in civilian life.

Sharing Experiences and Reviews on Sports Equipment: Tests

We regularly test running shoes, sportswear, and electronic sports accessories. We make our detailed experiences and objective opinions accessible to help runners in deciding whether to purchase a product.
