Welcome to this week’s edition of our weekly news and events roundup of all things Whippet-related.
The Dashing Whippets Running Team thanks our 2016 Team Sponsors for their generous support of the club: RunnerClinicNYC, Brooklyn Roasting Company, Strava, Fitletic, Inc, and adidas.

whippets/events/233062980/ - We had a great team meeting on Wednesday. If you missed it, please let us know if you want any information.
- One item we announced at the team meeting is the 2016 DWRT Performance Team. Because the team asks our fastest runners to run a lot of NYRR points races that they otherwise may not run, the board has funded the performance team. We’ve established some time standards that we are going to attempt to adhere to going forward and started the team earlier this year with people who we expect to score for the team in races based on past performances. Please see here for information and let us know if you have questions. http://www.dashingwhippets.

Please join the team’s group, as our target is to have 300 of our teammates participating on the platform by December.
