Dashing Whippets

Dashing Whippets at the annual team picnic after the 2023 Team Championships race.

The Dashing Whippets Running Team was established in 2009 by a group of friends living in New York City. Our team has since grown to 1,000+ runners who compete in local races and club competitions. Our members also participate in races around the world- including all six World Marathon Majors.

We welcome recreational and competitive runners with a wide range of running goals. Interested in being part of an achievement-oriented team? Come join us for a workout or our weekly social run at Amity Hall and let’s get to know each other.

2 days to go until the London Marathon! Today we’re excited to highlight fellow Whippet Alex Schupper as he prepares to race on Sunday! 📣📣

Alex initially ran cross country in high school. After a hiatus, he picked running back up during the pandemic when there weren’t many other options available to stay in shape. He ran his first marathon, then joined the Whippets soon after. “I knew I had the potential to be a competitive runner, but needed a strict training plan and teammates to elevate me to the next level,” Alex says.

With the Whippets, Alex trained for his next marathon and saw all his hard work come together on race day; he ran a 20 min PR, on a hot day no less! “It was the moment for me where all the training with my teammates came together into a finished product. I finally convinced myself that I can do something special in this race,” he adds. 💙💛

In London, Alex is driven by the support he receives from others. “The people in my life have made sacrifices for me to train and compete in marathons - that support fuels me. I can only do what I do because of the amazing people in my corner supporting me every step of the way.” 🫶

The Whippets are in Alex’s corner on Sunday as he prepares to race London. We wish him, and all the Whippets racing, the best day! 🎉

With three days to go until race day, our next Lon

With three days to go until race day, our next London Marathon spotlight is on Eileen Tublin!

Eileen grew up around sport, but only rekindled her interest in running during the pandemic. She joined the Whippets last year as a way to add structure to her running journey. Eileen credits the Whippets for supporting her with a strong community of like-minded people. “With the Whippets, I feel like I’ve finally found my tribe - open, understanding, kind, ambitious, intelligent, and funny,” she adds. Eileen’s dog, Maple, is also an honorary member of the Dashing Whippets (although she’s actually a Vizsla). “I’m incredibly grateful to be part of the Whippets. I love knowing that we’ll continue to support each other and welcome others into our running community.” 💙💛💙💛

Eileen will run the London Marathon in support of Autism Speaks, a charity that supports autistic individuals and their families through advocacy and research.

The Dashing Whippets wish Eileen the best as she races the London Marathon on Sunday! 🇬🇧

Four days until the Dashing Whippets take on the London Marathon! Today, we’re honoured to spotlight one of our teammates racing on Sunday: Andrew Lee. 🇬🇧

A lifelong New Yorker, Andrew started running with a “one-and-done” goal of completing the 2019 NYC Marathon. He ran that race without any structured training or preparation. “I had so much fun that I became hooked. I was in for the next one!” he says.

Andrew joined the Whippets on the recommendation of his childhood friend, Jeffrey Clarke, who thought he’d benefit from the team’s training structure. That first speed workout was humbling. “I got dropped in Central Park,” Andrew recalls. But he stuck with it, kept training, and has continued to grow as a runner. He recently ran a PR at the Philadelphia Marathon “thanks to the Whippets team camaraderie, workouts, and my running partner Jeffrey Clarke,” he adds. 💙💛

In London, Andrew is racing in support of the Toybox Foundation, which helps protect children living on the streets in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. It will be his third star on the path to the Abbott World Marathon Majors six-star medal. 🌟🌟🌟

Outside of running, Andrew enjoys creative pursuits, including video production, writing, and cooking. He is also a triplet, with twin sisters living abroad.

We wish Andrew, and all the Whippets racing, a great London Marathon! 🫶🫶

3 more days until the Boston Marathon! Today we’

3 more days until the Boston Marathon! Today we’re thrilled to shine the spotlight on Freya Lindvall as she prepares to race her first Boston Marathon. 🦄💙

Freya grew up in NYC around running. Both her parents are runners. Freya began distance running in high school and continued competing in college at the NCAA Division III level. When she returned to NYC after college, she looked for a club that would challenge her to reach her full potential and found the Whippets.

The Boston Marathon is the culmination of years of hard work for Freya. After working through injuries during her college career, she steadily built back up and earned her BQ. “Racing now allows me to keep proving to myself that I can always be better and truly embrace my body finally being healthy,” Freya adds. “I’m excited to be running with the best of the best and celebrate all the work I’ve put in to get here.”

She credits the Whippets for helping her along the way. “This team does an amazing job of showing up for each other,” she says. “I would not be at the Boston Marathon if it weren’t for this team. I’m immensely grateful for all the support. Thank you for always encouraging me to be my happiest, best self!” 💛💙💛💙

We can’t wait to see Freya smiling as she races through the streets of Boston. The Dashing Whippets will be cheering just before Mile 25 on runner’s left. Check our MeetUp link-in-bio to join us!

We wish Freya, and all our teammates, an amazing Boston Marathon! 🎉🏃‍♀️🔥

It’s 2AM and Whippets chased that bread at @orch

It’s 2AM and Whippets chased that bread at @orchardstreetrunners Bread Route Race Downtown last week. Congratulations to Abby Shoemaker for breaking the tape and bringing home the win in her first OSR race! “I’ve been toying around with the idea of doing an OSR race for a while, and I finally decided to rip the bandaid off. Had an absolute blast and even managed to make it into work by 8:30AM,” Abby adds. 🥖🏆🥇🏃‍♀️

Shoutout to Ronny Marte and Michael Brennan who also raced. It was also Michael’s first OSR race, less than two weeks after riding as a bike escort at OSR30.

The countdown is on ⏰ just 5 days until Whippets line up for the legendary Boston Marathon! Today, we’re excited to spotlight one of our teammates heading to the start line: Adam Horn 🎉

Adam’s running journey began with his parents. One day in middle school, Adam was walking home from school when he saw his parents running nearby. He thought it looked fun and ran the whole way home with them, his backpack bouncing along. He’s been an avid runner ever since.

Adam joined the Whippets during the pandemic. He recalls those days of masked runs, “I went on a run and immediately cherished the community.” He’s enjoyed watching the team evolve as we emerged from the pandemic into a full and vibrant team again. 💙💛

This will be Adam’s second time racing Boston. His goal this year? “To exceed any expectations or limitations I place on myself, to surprise myself, and to have one awesome runner’s high!” His training secret? “Listening to your body and stretching.” 🧘‍♂️

When not running, you can still find Adam enjoying the great outdoors, whether hiking, biking, skiing or swimming. ⛰️🚴⛷️🏊

Adam’s parents, his day one pace team, will be in Boston to cheer him on. The Whippets will also be there cheering alongside our DWRT Boston Chapter just before mile 25 on runner’s left. Check our MeetUp event schedule link-in-bio to join the fun!

We wish Adam, and everyone racing, an incredible Marathon Monday! 🦄🏅
