Stampede is happening in Calgary and everything is a party. Thankfully, Daisy Duke volunteered to set trail. Finding the starting point proved challenging for some, but Sandy Beach is a park area on the Elbow River jut south of the Glenmore Reservoir dam.
The access way to the lower parking lot has now all been paved, rather than the dirt track that existed in the past. The hash arrived and found suitable parking and waited for the pack to arrive.
Some were in Stampede costume with appropriate headwear. Other had the stampede spirit within. Camshaft called for the pack to circle up.

The hare was called into the circle to describe the marks that had been set to describe the trail.

The hare mentioned flagging, and then the pack was released to find the marks.

Leaving the parking lot, finding the first couple of marks proved challenging. However, the pack prevailed and marks were found and the trail was followed.

Another milestone was celebrated. Apparently Skewbic Hair has achieved 1200 runs with the hash. A significant investment in both time and money. Bring on the half yard!
Control is important as to not be overtaken by the wave.
With all the significant rewards completed, it was time to find an RA for next week and down down the RA’s.

Trail Summary
Some say that this trail was in the order of 6 km’s. Only maps from the walkers, so the runners will have to overlay their trail experience.
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.
A small alley riverShoe wash?
The pre run assembly in the garage was where hashers waited patiently for things to change.

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.
Revised trail markings – Walkers and Eagles
With the marks described, the pack was released to be escorted to the trail.

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.
The end of June is a special time for our teacher folks. It means they do not have to teach until the fall. Some say it sounds like the beginning of a summer vacation!
Our hares were Princess Monkey Spanker, Hot Cheeks and Abandoned Pussy. These folks have a hand in educating our children. With the end of the school year, the teachers like to let off steam. As such, they have planned a challenging trail from a starting point within sight of the Douglas Fir Trail.
Apparently, setting the trail on Sunday involved some time in the rain. We were warned the the trail might be muddy and that dry shoes and socks for the end of the wet trail.
Looks like clean shoes!
The pack gathered in the parking lot near JJ’s Neighbourhood Pub in Spruce Cliff SW. Disappointed that it was not pouring rain like the day before. There was much rejoicing! The hares had plan for the group to make this an epic trail, and perhaps a epi-pen trail?
JJ’S – Imagine the patio that is not in this pictureTailgating pre run
Eventually, it was time to circle up in the parking lot. The group formed some type of a circle with Camshaft running the circle.

The Teechers were called into the circle to educate the pack on the crazy marks they had chosen for the trail. Some say they should get and “F” for messing up the traditional markings. The pack can be slow to learn.
You get an “A” if you can figure out these crazy marks!
With a sign, the pack was released to find the marks on trail.

Apparently, there was a regroup with delicious refreshments. There is evidence that Insane Bolt finished DFL, an unusual position for him.

So much fun was had at the regroup that images were in short supply. The pack headed over the the patio at JJ’s to have the down down’s.
Down Down’s
Thankfully, Insane Bolt volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. He planned his material for the amusement of the waiting hashers.
Insane Bolt – RA duties

After some waiting due to a Mojito delivery emergency, the down down’s were ready to go. A choir of Dastardly and Hardly were selected, and chose to find unusual songs for their performance.
The hares were first, followed by a selection of other offences, The song of STINGY TRAIL related to the abundance of mosquito’s, wasps, bees and other dangerous insects.

Trail Summary
A great trail of some 6 km was thoroughly enjoyed by the runners. It was appreciated that it was not dumping rain and that the muddy trail was good! Bring your epi-pen next time.

A number of hashers have or will shortly pass through the portal to seniors discounts. Not necessarily a bad thing as saving money is always good, however the psychological drama of achieving a certain age can be eased if you have others in the same boat.
Coincidentally, the run number ends in 65. A suspicious coincidence which was motivation for Dastardly to hook up with his friends to set trail with a 65 theme. Included in the hare mix were: Dastardly, Lying Sack of Shit, Snevil, Twisty and Hardly. With 5 hares, the possibilities are endless. The run was on June 22, 2026 thus also a Tu Tu run for those that like to dress up.
The starting location was the Neighbourhood Pub in the community of Abbeydale NE. A fine strip mall location with character, allowing access to the pathways, streets and alleys of Abbeydale NE.
A very unique name for this establishment
The scribe was a bit late to the circle so not sure if the group started inside the pub or not. Nevertheless, a circle was present full of enthusiastic hashers who wanted to run.

So some unexplained reason, Skewbic Hair volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) at the last run. With poor memory skills, this meant that Scoobie had to prepare for the closing celebration with made up stuff.
Some hashers came forward with snitches, tales, lies and other useful information that the RA could distort into material.

A choir of Insane Bolt and Booty Camp looked after the songs.

Run Summary
Greater that 6.5 km for this fine trail set by old people. Through the neighbourhoods of Abbeydale and Marlborough Park, it was quite an experience.
We were pleased that Pyro volunteered to set trail for the group. He is know for setting great trails in challenging terrain. The hills of Tuscany and Scenic Acres provide some great views along with elevation changes.
The run started near the intersection of Tuscany Boulevard and Nose Hill Drive NW, in the Home Depot/Tim Horton’s parking lot.
The start location was busy with shoppers and patrons of the recycling bins that were conveniently located nearby. The group filtered in and found a suitable location to have the circle.
Something like a circle
A good turn out of over 30 hashers, including some returnees from last weeks run with Bacchanal doing a great job of recruiting new hashers to the group.

Bacchanal has been absent from the hash for an extended period. As fait would have it, she is now “back” and eager to set a trail. Teamed up with Lazy Cummer, this dynamic duo were enthusiastic to set trail in the Bridgeland/Renfrew communities in the NE.
The Courtyard Pub was selected as the nominal starting location. Hash friendly and able to host us.
The Courtyard Pub on Edmonton Trail NE
In addition, Bacchanal has been recruiting and we were swarmed with new runners that she coerced to join us. Quite an accomplishment as we had almost 40 people present at the run start.
The actual starting point was a couple of blocks away from the pub. The hares provided explicit details for those that could follow instructions.
The group assembled at a location with a great view of the city, and prepared for the running experience.

This trail was great with lots of variety, views, stairs, up and down, and abundant playgrounds.

The poster created for this run, plus some additional pictures
Liquor Lots and OPP stepped up to host the hash run. They chose to set trail at Bowmont Park, a fine wilderness area with some challenging trail in the area.
The weather offered some challenges as we have had more rain than you can imagine. A fine recipe for mud and puddles! Liquor Lots and OPP spent a wet day setting trail for us to enjoy.
The trail start was at the Dale Hodges Park NW. We arrived in the rain and thankfully Dastardly had some antifreeze to ward off the chill and the damp.
Just what we need.
The group assembled and dressed in their finest rain repellant clothing.
Insane Bolt ran to the run start from his house, showing a high level of over achievement. Camshaft requested that we form a circle to prepare for the run start.

After finishing the tasty beverages, the group headed off to Leopold’s Pub in Bowness for the down downs. Dry clothes were a good thing to bring with you for post run enjoyment.
The pub was packed, but the group managed to squeeze in and find just enough room.
The group settled in to take in the ambience and prepare for the down down’s.

Trail Summary
Close to 5 km’s of rain soaked adventure. Views of the high river which may continue to make the trail even wetter. A great run in an interesting area.
We are thankful that Hardly, Twisty and Dastardly teamed up to generate a great hash run in the North part of town. The run started from the Black Bull Pub, but the group consolidated in the parking lot prior to the run start.
This would be the pub we started from. Used this stock shot as none was taken.
In the parking lot, the hashers assembled and Hot Cheeks was promoting the hand made Hash kilts. They were handed out and all went for a run!

Booty Camp had volunteered to be the Religious Advisor for the run. She had been mentally preparing for the week and was ready to unleash her creation.
A choir was chosen, and King Shit was chosen. He then sang himself a song and the ceremony was underway.

Trail Summary
Somewhere between 5 and 8 km were enjoyed by the pack. A great trail with many playgrounds, as well as the insiders tour of Huntington Hills.
With the first long weekend in May, finding a hare to host the run can be challenging. Many conflicting objectives, including camping, cycling, Stampeders football and travel can lead to a small number of runners. With a holiday Monday, afternoon vs evening time slot is another question.
Thankfully, Booty Camp and Snow Blower stepped up to the challenge and declared they would host an afternoon run with feeding afterwards! We can not thank them enough!
With variable weather, the threat of rain made were an added feature. Nevertheless, hashers appeared and prepared for the run that had been thoughtfully prepared for the group.

In the absence of our normal Hashmasters, a stand in was acclaimed to run the circle and be the religious advisor for the closing ceremonies.
Skewbic Hair ran the circle going through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they had set to mark the trail.
Many marks in many coloursGood luck trying to find the pink ones
All you need to know is here, including a pink flamingo
The pack was released and to group wandered off to find the marks.
The Trail
The pathways proved fruitful for finding marks. Off we went knowing that the pedestrian bridges over the Trans Canada Highway were likely important.

Some hashers did not appreciate that the regroup was located close to the end of the run. Some were distracted by other beverages at another location near by. All was good and we did not get rained on!
The Down Down’s
Back to the start location, the back yard became a fine place to place your chair and enjoy a suitable beverage in anticipation of the down down’s starting.

Skewbic Hair was volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA), and enlisted the support of Karate Klit.

A choir of the bashers was selected, including Pull My Woody, Sticky Lips and XXX Ray. These folks were unable to join us for the circle.

First off was a tribute to the hares for setting a fine trail and for hosting the group on this wonderful afternoon.

It was noted that one of our hashers had shoes that were suspiciously new looking. Upon further enquiry, these were indeed new shoes debuting on the May the Fourth run. The RA of that evening, Tighty Whitey, was so wrapped up in his star wars world, they were overlooked. Time to correct that transgression.

Trail Summary
A great trail through some hilly neighbourhoods within earshot of McMahon Stadium where a noisy football game was being played. Somewhere in the 7 – 8 km range, depending on you ability to short cut or find the false trails.
Some original AI inspired artwork announcing the run.
Snevil chose to hare this run and we thank her for that. Familiar with the neighbourhood, it was decided to start the run at the Royal Pub Bankview SW. She was familiar with the lay of the land and the extent of the hills and challenging geography that this place had for the hashers.
The group assembled outside on the modest patio of the pub.
This is the placeNice patioHash friendly!
A reasonable crowd turned up and the weather was good. Eventually, we were called to the circle in the parking lot adjacent to the pub.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for the trail. All in chalk, with some unique features that required us to pay attention.
I have made marksSome are familiar
Others are not… Here they are and off you go!
The hare pointed out the first mark and the pack was released.
The Trail
Off through the back alleys, marks were found that indicated we were on the trail. The neighbourhood is going through a bit of a transformation with lots of new building and renovation.

The group settling in for outdoor down down’s
It was decided to do the down down’s outside in this back yard. Preparations were made to make that happen!
The Down Down’s
Hardly and Twisty were the volunteer Religious Advisors, appointed last week. They jointly prepared their material as the down down beverages were made ready.

RA recruitment for the next run was unsuccessful. Sort it out at the next run. On the piss was declared and we headed back to the Royal Pub Bankview for debriefing.
At the pub, a kilt fashion show was put on for the benefit of the patrons. These kilts are available for sale with money going to charity.
