Run 2400 – A Milestone Delivered!

The Beginning

With 24 hours of hashing promoted to mark the 2400 run on May 24, 2024, this run had had a quite a build up.

This Saturday afternoon run was event 5 of the weekend program, preceded by:

  • TGIF (Thank Goodness It’s Friday)
  • Sitting Hash
  • Dark Side of the Moon Hash
  • Rocky Mountain Hash

For this run, the group has a Rocky Mountain Hash Run warm up in the morning to prepared for Run 2400

The group gathered at the Blue Heron picnic area at the North Glenmore Park, after enjoying a Subway Sandwich lunch post Rocky Mountain Run.

PMS summoned the group up the stairs to the parking lot to conduct the circle.

PMS went through the formalities of announcements, visitors, archives and introductions.

Dark Side of the Moon and Bubble Boy
Charclittery Board and Weenie Roast

PMS called the hares into the circle to describe the marks we have for the trail.

The pack was released to find the marks showing true trail.

The Trail

Off we went to find trail. Some marks were found and we were off. Thankfully, we were spared the bushwhacking and climbing associated with the steep slopes around the reservoir.

The pack is released

Off through the wilds of Lakeview. We passed though parks and observed others having fun!

Finding the marks that lead us through the myriad of walkways before us.

The On In mark was found and we were directed back to the picnic site for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

Back at the picnic site, we prepared for the down down ceremony. The Religious Advisor, Skewbic Hair, gathered the necessary material for the down downs. In the absence of facts, stories were made up to ensure that everyone was happy. A choir was assembled of Weenie Roast, Princess Monkey Spanker and Hardly.

Down down’s for the hares to start. Subsequent crimes and offences, and a special milestone. Many down downs related to the multiple hash shits.

The hash shit parade began. Those that carried the hash shit on trail were eligible to get rid of it. Sadly, Weenie Roast’s hat shit magically appeared “after” the run. In spite of his protests, he maintained custody. Spring Loaded performed some sort of ritual dance which was enlightening,

After enough shenanigans, the ceremony was declared done and “on the piss”. Drinking and chatting until the food truck arrived with a sumptuous dinner.

We tried to amuse ourselves prior to the arrival of the food truck. I not sure of the meaning or symbolism of some of these pictures, but you can judge for yourselves.

Trail Summary

The epic trail was somewhere between 5 and 6 km. Excellent celebration run!
