Weekly Wag

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, and Fitletic, Inc. Fitletics and RunnerClinicNYC have renewed their 2015 sponsorship into 2016 and Brooklyn Roasting Company is new as a team sponsor this year!
