What we’re about

The Dashing Whippets Running Team is a large, competitive running team based in New York. We welcome runners with a wide range of goals and training paces, and we offer 10+ weekly group runs, training plans, and group coaching. We are here to support your goals, whether you are training to complete your first marathon or planning to qualify for the next Olympic Trials.

Our club competes in the Open A division of NYRR. We consider the number of members who run each Club Points race to be as important a metric as the scoring by the elite team, so make sure you have us listed as your club affiliation and let's get out for some races! More information here: https://www.dashingwhippets.org/racing/

We charge $30 in annual dues after a 90 day free trial. Official membership is counted through this Meetup group.

It's that time of the year again! The 2024 NYC Marathon is upon us, and the Whippets will be out in force as usual! We will have almost 400 runners on the course, so if you're not racing, come out and cheer for your teammates (details at the end)! If you're racing, good luck, have fun, and congratulations!

After the race, let's all meet at Dutch Fred's at 8th Ave and 47th! From the finish line, take a leisurely walk, hop on a Citibike, or jump on the C or the 1 train! If you go home to shower, just get yourself back to Midtown, where all the subways go! Or don't shower so the tourists will get out of your way.

The official start of our event is 2 pm, although the bar opens at 11 and has plenty of space for early arrivals. Starting at 2, we have the back area reserved for the Whippets. The official event ends at 6, but we plan to linger until around 7 and then walk over to the Final Finishers Cheer Station.

The team will also provide some appetizer platters throughout the afternoon.
