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 $65 in annual dues after a 30 day free trial. Official membership is counted through this Meetup group.
