Welcome to this week’s edition of our weekly news and events roundup of all things Whippet-related.
– Matt and Simon

The 2015 NYRR Club Points races have been announced. They will be:

• Washington Heights 5k
• Scotland Run 10k
• Brooklyn Half Marathon
• Portugal Run (now 4 miles and just a points race for men)
• Mini 10k (just a points race for women)
• Pride Run
• Team Championships
• 5th Avenue Mile
• Bronx 10M (new this year as a points race replacing the Autism 4M)
• Grete’s Gallop (we voted for SI, but lost the vote – this may or may not be a half marathon this year)
• NYC Marathon
• Ted Corbitt 15k

Make sure to register for the NYC Marathon if you are planning on running it. The deadline is February 15!
