The Beginning

A Canada Day Run with the Calgary Hash House Harriers has been a thing for some years. This year, Hardly and Twisty stepped up to host an afternoon run on the day, which happens to follow on Wednesday. There was a plan to make this event extra special with multiple 2 km loops with refreshment stops in between. BBQ to follow!

The plan was set and the trail concept was nailed down. Apparently, the weather was a problem and some rain appeared to eliminate the marks that had been set.

Plan B – live hare on a reduced concept. Two trails to enjoy.

The pack assembled at the Hardly and Twisty Haus, ready to celebrate Canada Day. A good turn out of 24 hashers showed up. Apparently the weather turned shitty and it became a “wait in the garage and drink beer” until things sorted themselves out.

The pre run assembly in the garage was where hashers waited patiently for things to change.

The rain stopped Sort of a circle was assembled as the pack got ready for their first trail.

The pack ventured out to form some sort of a circle in the back alley. Careful not to get your feet wet.

The hares were called into the circle to describe what marks to follow. Originally, the multiple trail scheme had marks with M, G, W and E for Moose, Goose, Wolf and Eagle. Apparently a 20 minute thunderstorm obliterated all marks, so the new plan was a guided runners trail and a separate guided walkers trail.

With the marks described, the pack was released to be escorted to the trail.

The Trail

Out through the back alley, the pack was off to find their way.

Back to the Hardly and Twisty Haus to get the back yard thing rocking.

Eventually, it was time for the down down’s to begin. Refreshments were ready!

The Down Down’s

Mr. PeeeeeNut was the Religious Advisor. A choir was selected of Mmmmm Lady Fingers, and Bacchanal.

The ceremony started with singing the Oh Canada song, the Hash version printed on this shirt.

Mr. PeeeeNut engaged the group with his program. First off, the hares were rewarded for setting a fine trail and hosting the Canada Day event.

Then we have Snow Blower, achieving 300 runs! Get a life?

With the down down’s complete, the pack was declared “on the piss” and continued on with the celebration of Canada Day.

Trail Summary

Trail 1 and Trail 2 were both enjoyed. Walkers and Runners. Great trail and good recovery from that rain thing that happened at the start.
