St. Patrick’s Day Green

The Beginning

St. Patrick’s Day is a time to celebrate. Everything Irish and everything green. Thankfully, our hares were on top of the cause and made the effort to select and Irish themed pub to host the event, and encourage green attire be worn for the run.

The group assembled at Murdoch’s in the light of the early evening, thanks to Daylight Savings Time!

The pack was called to circle up by Insane Bolt and congregated in the parking lot close to the pub.

With the St. Patrick’s Day spirit, there were some special treats for the pack to enjoy. Artfully created Jello shots in appropriate colours!

Insane Bolt ran the circle, working through announcements and introductions. The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks for the run.

The pack was released to find the marks and enjoy the trail.

The Trail

Off went the pack into local neighbourhoods of Glendale, Killarney and Glenbrook.

Thankfully, parks were available for the pack to play in.

Spring Loaded playground toys are the best!

Through the streets and alleys the run unfolded, much to the pleasure of the runners and walkers!

A long and challenging trail eventually ended up at the regroup, where this was much rejoicing and refreshments.

Girl Guide cookies were available courtesy of Huggy Bear and her supportive mother – Strap On Crampon.

After the regroup was done, it was off the the bar to settle in and start the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

Murdoch’s Pub and Grill was well set up to handle the group. The pack settled in for food and beverages.

The Religious Advisor duties were performed by the Hump the Shark. Choir of Liquor Lots and Hot Cheeks.

It was difficult to piece together the story with the pictures, but this is what you should find here:

Hares, for setting a fine trail. OPP for sending a runner to the Kayak for another Jello show. Daisy Duke was an archive. King Shit’s dog, Vinnie, apparently left a package in the parking lot. KK has special new shoes. Never Been and Just Francis were bashing. Dastardly for being a leprechaun with beer supply. Just Jen possible naming. Strap On dealing cookies. LC got lucky.

After all was done, the pack was declared “on the piss”

Trail Summary

A fine run of over 6 km’s was delivered the the willing group. Good use of the green colour to enjoy the day!

Hash Extra

The scribe was unfortunately unable to attend the run due to a skiing conflict in Whitefish Montana. Checking to see if it has the vibe for a new province.

Daylight Savings Time Ends Darkness!

The Beginning

The clocks have shifted and we now have more daylight in the evening. That hour of lost sleep is eventually forgotten and we bask in the glow of a starting circle in the light.

OPP and Lazy Cummer volunteered to set trail. A good turn out for a run in the Marda Loop neighbourhood was anticipating an interesting run.

The group assembled inside the Marda Loop Brewing Company, and were called out to form a circle in the back parking lot.

PMS lead the circle as the group got organized.

PMS went through the announcement and introductions, then called the hares to the circle to explain the marks for the trail.

With the marks described, the pack was released to find the trail.

The Trail

A few false trails were discovered as the pack got their bearings and found the true trail marks. Through the neighbourhood of Marda Loop and the mud and moisture from the recent snow, the trail revealed itself.

The scribe was in the walkers group due to skiing over exertion. The walkers had a fine time exploring the development and construction occurring in the this part of town!

My inside sources suggest that the runners had a fun time finding the trail, and playing in any parks they could find.

The walkers were able to find the regroup in the parking lot of the brewery. Apparently, the runners had a significant amount of trail to run, and were delayed in arriving for refreshments.

Eventually, once darkness had fallen, the balance of the group appeared to regale us with their conquest of the epically long trail. This shot is indicative of the level of darkness when the balance of the pack arrived.

The group gathered on the patio of the Marda Loop Brewing Company to order beer and food prior to the down down’s.

Eventually, Booty Camp was ready for the down down ceremonies.

The Down Down’s

Religious Advisor Booty Camp took control of the down downs and appointed a choir of Roaring Nancy.

Booty Camp thanked the hares for setting trail and then proceeded to come forward with a series of lies, accusations and crimes committed during the run.

With the down down’s done, the group engaged in the chatting and socializing until it was time to leave.

Trail Summary

Some say this trail was 9 km when all done. Not sure how the sidewalk marks made it through the surprise snowfall.

The walkers were more straightforward with a big loop of close to 4 km.

Headlights on the Hill!

The Beginning

Thanks to Booty Camp and Snow Blower for stepping up to set the first trail in March 2025. Starting from Buffalo Bob’s Sports Bar in the SW, in the Glenbrook, Glendale neighbourhoods. The private room in the bar was reserved and we were set for the evening.

The weather shifted for the Monday run, where we had sustained above freezing temperatures, a dusting of snow and around freezing temperatures made the footing interesting.

The enthusiastic group turned out in good numbers as we prepared for the run at the bar.

We were called to the circle by Insane Bolt and headed outside to the cold and dark.

Insane Bolt called the group to order and went through an abbreviated version of the formalities.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks we had follow to enjoy the trail.

The pack was released and off we went to find the marks. Some confusion with running through the shopping area and industrial building before we ultimately found our way forward.

Through the streets, alleys and pathways the trail wound through the neighbourhoods.

Some gems were found on the pathways, with a snow person appearing, freshly made.

A bit icy and crunchy as the temperatures went down.

Slippy Thong tests out the spring loaded toys

More trail until the next playground. Careful with the footing!

Strap On and LC test out the teeter totter. Shakesbeer supervises

Eventually we made it to the regroup, with Booty Camp protecting the deep puddle from the oblivious hashers.

Off to the pub to get set up for down downs.

The Down Down’s

At Buffalo Bob’s, we had a private room at the back. Good set up for the group as we got settled and ordered beer and food.

The religious advisor for the evening was Skewbic Hair. Dispensing with photo duties to Liquor Lots, a choir was chosen and the ceremonies commenced.

The choir of Roaring Nancy and Karate Klit were rewarded with down down’s, sang themselves a song to begin the program.

Down down’s for the hares, leading into other crimes and offences being rewarded.

Hash shit was awarded to Insane Bolt for forgetting to do the introductions at the opening circle. He was able to hand it off to a hasher of his choice, and selected Camshaft.

A round of the camel song showed a good understanding of anatomy.

Mmmm Lady Fingers was rewarded with a down down for achieving 269 runs.

With all material exhausted, we were declared to be “on the piss”, with a down down to the RA!

Spectacular View of the City

The Beginning

Shakesbeer has been out of the loop for some time. We are pleased that he has the courage to volunteer to set the trail. The location was Joyce on Fourth, an Irish type pub in the beltline. They have a room in the basement suitable for hosting the group.

Apparently, hashers arrived and gathered at the pub. Some of us were late due to the Mission bridge construction and subsequent detour.

Not too much for pictures prior to the run, but here is a picture of the pub in warm weather and daylight.

The Pub looks like this in the warm weather

A couple of photos of the walkers and the marks were provided as evidence that the circle took place.

The Trail

Being a bit behind the pack, some of us had to find the pack and join the run. Eventually, the headlights of the pack were sighted and the run was afoot.

With the melting conditions, the pathways were wet and icy. Challenging traction for those without spikes. Careful footing was the key.

Some parks were scattered along the way, and playing was encouraged!

More trail was discovered and we were treated to a viewpoint.

Some sort of group activity involving four people!

Thankfully, the regroup was near and we found the refreshments.

The regroup provided an opportunity to collect the group and score some pictures, missed from the circle.

With refreshments done, off to the pub for the Down Down’s

The Down Down’s

Off to the Joyce on Forth pub, to our room in the basement. Beer specials and food specials were available so…. a lot of eating and drinking.

Hump the Shark was religious advisor, the down down beer was procured and the ceremonies were ready to start.

A choir was selected, Camshaft and Mmmmm Lady Fingers. As they have been vacationing in warmer countries, time for some choir action.

Choir looking through the on-line songbook!

Down down’s for the choir and the hares. A procession of other crimes were tabled and down down’s were consumed.

With all done, we were declared “on the piss”.

This is How Cold it is!

The Beginning

Calgary has had a bit of a cold spell for the last 10 days of so. With temperatures in the -25 C range plus windchill, it makes for a chilly outdoor experience. At least the sun was out for the afternoon run, making a considerable difference.

The lead up to the run included encouragement to dress up in layers and do not be a wimp. As such, we had 17 hashers come out and enjoy the fine trail set by PMS and Liquor Lots.

We arrived at Two Pillars Brewing to start the run. Once parked, we circled up “outside”.

PMS was called into the circle to describe the marks she had chosen for the trail today.

With the instructions complete, the pack was released to find the trail.

The Trail

Off toward the river we ran. Not wanting to give up the high ground, the neighbourhoods revealed the marks to follow.

Of course there were sights to be seen and parks to play in.

Some sort of expensive urban art. Does not seem to mind the cold.

Off through Princes Island Park over to the Peace Bridge to return to the North side of the rver.

The community provided some interesting ice sculptures. These were very popular with the the tactile folks in the group.

Eventually, we had to climb the massive hill to get to the top of Crescent Heights where we were greeted with a significant wind to freeze us to death.

Apparently there was a downhill and uphill section that some of the enthusiastic hashers took. Others preferred the flat elevation to the regroup.

Nothing like a cold refreshment on a cold day! Hot chocolate was available as well!

Off to the bar to warm up and conduct the down down’s.

Down Down’s

The Two Pillars Brewery was a bit small, but that did not stop us from finding space and running through our down down program.

Hump the Shark was Religious Advisor (RA) for the afternoon festivities. A choir was called and the down down’s commenced!

The hares were called up and acknowledged for the fine trail that had been set on this cold and frosty day.

More crimes and punishment were handed out by the RA. The Hash Shit has a new owner, and many offences were acknowledged.

There was some group activity which warranted down down’s.

After the down down’s, the group continued with mirth and merriment, and yummy beer from Two Pillars Brewery.

New Neighbourhoods Appearing!

The Beginning

Thankfully, Karate Klit saved the hash with volunteering to set the trail for February 10, 2025. There was a time when KK lived on the west edge of town. As the city expands west, new neighbourhoods are sprouting up all over the place.

The ring road makes these places accessible! So, off we go to Original Joe’s in Aspen Landing Shopping Centre to prepare for the run. The pub was set up for a reservation and we had a spot in the back!

After some last minute beer spotting for the regroup beer, the pack was summoned outside to circle up.

With Insane Bolt in charge, he summoned Karate Klit to the circle to explain the marks to the pack.

With description of the flagging used, the pack was released to the nether regions of Aspen Landing.

The Trail

Off we went through the shopping centre. A set of stairs lead down the the pond and pathway. From there, we were off in the oblivion of the new neighbourhoods.

New building was happening. As such, construction material and no streetlights were a feature.

New building where there once was nothing! Dark streetlights….

One of riddles was a special mark. Upon finding this mark, we were informed that it referred the “glass house”. Occupants are discouraged from throwing stones.

More pathways and trails were discovered responding to a back check mark. Many hidden ravines and streets in this neighbourhood!

Eventually, we made it out of the new construction and densely packed neighbourhoods to stumble upon the regroup. We arrived in waves with the keeners there first and the balance of the pack following along later.

The group did a cross country trail to the secret stairs that delivered the group to the shopping centre and the warmth of Original Joe’s.

Down Downs

Inside the pub, we took our spot in the reserved section of Original Joe’s.

Hump the Shark was preparing the mythical material he would be delivering for the down down’s.

Hump the Shark burst into action and appointed a choir of Twisty and PMS. They were presented with a thimble of beer for their troubles and they sang themselves a song!

The Religious Advisor went through this list of crimes and punishments.

With all through, we were declared “on the piss” by Hump the Shark.

How Cold Does This Look?

The Beginning

With no hares in the program, being a Hashmaster can have it’s challenges. As such, Insane Bolt was coerced into setting trail. His plan was to make it a long one, with words like Ultra Marathon used to describe his intentions.

Weather can be a fickle thing in Calgary. Last weeks heat wave was soon forgotten as the polar vortex settled in for some time, Running in temperatures of -25C requires some special provisions. Layers and dry clothes to change into are a must.

The temperatures filtered out some of the fair weather types, so our numbers were a bit down this week. It is not the quantity of the group, but the quality. As such we had 11 hard core hashers present to enjoy the run that Insane Bolt had produced for us!

Through the ice fog, snow and slippery roads, the group assembled at Pazzer’s Saskatchewan Pub. For those that are not familiar, this pub is a bastion of all things Saskatchewan. Like an oasis for those that long for a touch of Regina in Calgary.

Inside was busy, cramped but warm as we got ready for the run.

With all the late cummers accounted for, it was time to head out and circle up.

PMS conducted the circle and our hare, Insane Bolt, was summoned into the circle to describe what he had planned for us.

Insane pointed a direction and the cold hashers started to look for marks.

The Trail

Through the community of Montgomery, we found marks and followed them. Surprisingly, there are hills in the neighbourhood, with most of them going up!

We stopped at the viewpoint for those in our group, and a picture was taken to record the event.

Apparently, the other half of the running group was elsewhere, having been befuddled by the interpretations of the marks. Eventually, they were found and no one died. They did send us some pictures to prove they were on trail!

Looks like they will fall over with that slant!

Insane Bolt demonstrating proper fence hole etiquette

Off through the wonders of Bowness and the bridge crossings along the Trans Canada highway, always a good time!

Off toward Shouldice Park and a run through the pathways by the river. It was cold. Eventually, we ended up at the regroup to enjoy beer slushy’s. We were somewhat concerned about the missing hashers, but they eventually made it to the end and all was good!

With outdoor refreshments done, it was time to dress for inside down down’s. Dump the wet clothing and ward off hypothermia.

Off to the inside where we packed the pub with a full table of happy hashers. The locals were amused with the invasion.

It was decided to splash out for suitable down down beer, the honour and recognize the intrepid group that enabled the continued operation of the group!

Hump the Shark declared “sitting down down’s” and we were set to go.

Choir was Scoobie and Lazy Cummer and the program was started.

Hump the Shark thinks someone is number 1

Around the table we went with down down’s for everyone!

After we exhausted the stories and the crimes, the Religious Advisor declared the group to be “on the piss”. The group settled in for more socializing and refreshment prior to heading out into the cold.

We run over 5 kms is the cold. There were shortcuts available for those that needed them. In addition, Insane Bolt had some extra distance for those so inclined. A great run in the cold.

You can see Calgary from here!

The Beginning

In the celebration of Robbie (Rabbie) Burns, the Scottish poet and lyricist , lived from 25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide.

Hump the Shark volunteered to set trail for the Robbie Burns tribute run. All things Scottish was the theme. The location was in the deep south community of Legacy, which is most of the way to Okotoks. Bobby’s Place Pub is a Scottish themed eatery which had Haggis on the menu.

With succinct GPS coordinates, finding the place only took more time than you could have imagined. Those coming from the north could have been most of the way to Banff if they were heading west. Nevertheless, the venue offered a view into a new section of town and distant views of downtown from top of the river bank!

The weather was good with above freezing temperatures. Perfect for high quality ice and slippery conditions. Hashers arrived to the pub and began their preparations for the evening trail.

The pack was instructed to head outside for the circle.

PMS called the circle to order and we went through the introductions. New boots, archives and a good turn out for such a southern location.

Hump the Shark was called into the circle to describe the marks.

There was flagging described as well as mention of a walkers trail. The hash was released into the neighbourhood to find the marks.

The Trail

Off we go in all directions. Plenty of ice to navigate and much confusion. Tiny marks widely spaced. Eventually, we found the beginning of the trail and the pack as off.

Parks were present, so playing was a thing. Shiny new playground equipment offered some new play experiences.

From the top of the river bank, there were some great views of downtown, which was very far away.

More urban exploring uncovered evidence of a civilization that must have existed in Legacy prior to the redevelopment. There is some chance that this is fake.

Apparently there is some unique wildlife on the pathways . No camels or elephants were spotted and we heard no one speaking to their dogs.

More wilderness, pathways, parks and sidewalks lead us to the regroup.

After what seemed to be a long time, the regroup was discovered and all was put right.

Off to the pub to conduct the down down’s

The Down Down’s

We presented a large group to the pub and they were able to accommodate us. They had haggis on the menu which was popular with the Scottish aligned crowd.

We gathered and figured out where to sit and what to order prior to the commencement of the down down cerimonies.

On In and Snevil got to work to start the down down’s. On In looked after the Scottish piece and Snevil did the rest.

On In and Snevil preparing for the down down’s

A choir of King Shit and Tighty Whitey was selected and we were ready to go.

With the Robbie Burns theme, On In educated us on all things Scottish, and provided a tribute to the haggis. In spite of the lack of simultaneous translation, the delivery was excellent.

More crimes and punishments were handed out by Snevil.

Liquor Lots and Hot Pants – Hat Shit transfer

More offences came forward. Something to do with clothing redistribution on trail.

Hard to keep track of the multiple offences, but here are the people that were honoured.

During the festivities, a beer was sacrificed and created quite a mess and a workplace hazard. A quick response from the spill response team made everything right again.

Recovering from the beer mishap, more hashers were called up to received down down’s.

With all crimes disclosed and worked with, we were declared “on the piss”, and a down down was given to the RA’s.

The Beginning

With much celebration, we have three hares stepping up for set trail in mid January. Ozzie Pizzle Pants (OPP), Liquor Lots (LL) and Lazy Cummer (LC) joined forces to set a fantastic trail from Two House Brewing Taproom and Pizza in the Sunalta neighbourhood, in the shadow of the C-Trail tracks.

Even better, Two House has declared $5.00 pints for the month of January. Is that not a good reason to patronize this establishment? In addition, plenty of great terrain for the trail.

Trail setting was done in the cold weather on Sunday (-20 C). Monday chinook winds warmed things up to -4 C. We gathered inside prior to the run start.

Insane Bolt announced it was time to circle up in the rear parking lot of the pub.

Slippy Thong with Edmonton visitor Eager Peevert

Insane Bolt ran the circle. We had visitors, archives and newish boots.

The hares were called into the circle and explained the marks we needed to follow for the trail.

Hares ready to show us the marks……Gravel parking lot not the greatest. Time to improvise.

The hares pointed in a westerly direction and the pack was off.

The Trail

A few misleading marks lead to false trails. After the requisite fumbling around, true trail was discovered.

Finally, a park was found and the playing and sliding was engaged in earnest.

Down the hill and through the neighbourhood prior to finding the stairs that must be climbed.

We eventually made it to the pathway beside the river. This was a long stretch of distance with few options. We found the regroup under the C-Train tracks close to the pub. Refreshments were appreciated!

After our refreshments, it was back to the pub to get sorted out for down down’s.

Down Down’s

Inside Two House was warm and dry. The smell of fresh pizza was present. The pack settled in as the Religious Advisor got his act together.

Choir selected with Snevil and Roaring Nancy. The sang to them selves and enjoyed a refreshment.

A number of crimes and transgressions were brought to light, as well as the acknowledgement of the hares. Scoobie was called up to be a stunt double for Just10 Beaver, who had escaped prior to receiving her down down. Scoobie handed off the photo taking duties to others.

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.

Hot Quickie, Beer in the Rear plus a dog

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.

Lazy demonstrates correct use of the blue ball play thing

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.
