Internal note to all members:

SUBJECT:  DWRT Member Disqualification  

Dear teammates and friends,

As some of you may be aware, one of our members intentionally cut the course at a Half Marathon this past weekend. The member in question has admitted to cheating, has been officially disqualified from the race, and has apologized to the DWRT Board.

As a team, DWRT has always prided itself in encouraging fair play on and off the race course, and as the DWRT Code of Conduct clearly states, “Members are expected to adhere to all of the rules of competition in races in which they participate. Members found to be in violation may face reprimand, suspension or other action.”

In this specific instance, the DWRT Board has decided we have no other option than to expel the member in question from the team, with immediate effect. This afternoon at 2pm ET, the Board of Directors met via teleconference, and terminated the runner’s membership.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to any of the Board Members or .    

Kind regards,

Your DWRT Board:

Richard Hsieh
Matthew Wong
Amy Smitherman
