Basically, we will send a link to a map of 10-15 landmarks in Prospect Park and whichever team finds them first wins a round of drinks at brunch afterward. This will be a great way to meet people on the team, get a nice, easy run in, and get to know some of the trails in Prospect Park. http://www.meetup.com/dashing-

DWRT on Strava
The DWRT have adopted Strava as our key community-building platform. Please feel free to join (it’s free) and link your GPS watch, or log and monitor your workouts. You can set any workout as “private,” or you can share your routes and give kudos and comment on our friends’ workouts. Please join the team’s group, as our target is to have 300 of our teammates participating on the platform by December.
Adidas club run 6:30 pm, August 10.
The DWRT is pleased to be one of the lead team partners to Adidas, one of the world’s largest retailer of high-quality sportswear and running gear. Our next Adidas run is Wednesday, August 10, at 6:30 pm at the Adidas store, Broadway and Houston Street. Bag drop is available.
