Welcome to this week’s edition of our weekly news and events roundup of all things Whippet-related.
Big news:
- Since David and Meredith are moving to Boston, David is going to head up a Boston chapter of the Whippets with support from the NY team. The team will officially launch at the end of 2015, just in time for Boston marathon training. The team will be a separate entity (a separate RRCA and USATF club), but we expect to share a lot of our resources (logo, apparel, etc.). If you know of any runners in Boston that would like a club, let David or me know so we can start collecting a list of potential new members!
