The Beginning

Thunder Tits is a fabled hasher who departed us 4 years ago. We have been honouring here existence with a memorial run which encompasses her former address in Riverbend SE, a sight of many good times for the hash community.

Carburn Park was the start point for what was being billed as a mini ball buster with options for lesser distance. Extensive pathways and intricate streets, sidewalks and alleys set the stage for an epic trail.

The pack gathered in the parking lot servicing the skating venue in Carburn Park. In the dark, headlights were on to figure out how to circle up.

PMS eventually called the circle to order and went through the formalities.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the outstanding trail that had been set for their running enjoyment.

Of course there would be challenges on this trail. The darkness coupled with the high quality ice will make for some interesting hashing. The hares have premeditated a challenging trail that would be the subject of much discussion after the run was completed. The flagging tape colour was red! 10 playgrounds!

Marks like this will be difficult to find on trail

The pack was dispersed to find suitable marks. Not wanting the group to miss the fun bits of the trail, the hares were very helpful in pointing out the marks that would lead the pack to a good outcome.

Dark, icy conditions, poor footing, limited marks made finding and running the trail an opportunity to demonstrate the superior trail finding sense of some of the enthusiastic hashers.

Pathways, sidewalks and alleys offered some interesting challenges.

Eventually, the run was done and suitable refreshments were available from the beverage stash in the vehicle.

Early regroup – where are the fast people?

Some arrived early, others arrived later depending on how much of the trail they chose to run. The group then headed over to the Station Pub in Riverbend for the closing ceremonies.
