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.
Yummy lunch pre 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.

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 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 the stairsScoobie and the choir
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.

Trail Summary
The epic trail was somewhere between 5 and 6 km. Excellent celebration run!
Setting trail on the May long weekend is challenging. For some reason, some think this is the time to go camping or cycle the Golden Triangle. Some of us even chose to be out of province for the run, as such, I rely on others for the good dirt on the run.
The Run Number of 2401 was intentionally selected to not jeopardize the pre arranged Run 2400 happening on May 24, 2025. I am sure the hash run accountants will be totally fine with this.
Pearce Estate Park was the location for the start of the run. Lying Sack of Shit volunteered to hare the run. All was looking good for an epic trail.
Apparently there was some rain to deal with, but that did not interfere with LSOS setting trail. The pack arrived in good order and got organized in something that looks like a circle.
A good turn out of 21 hashers were getting ready to experience the trail that Lying Sack of Shit had planned for the group.

PMS ran the circle. After extensive announcements and introductions, the hare, Lying Sack of Shit, was called into the circle to explain the marks.
LSOS looking for chalkSome of the marks look like this
Here are more marks to confuse you
It would appear that LSOS wanted to make this difficulted for the group. I see regular marks, plus back checks with numbers. Musical notes and “WASTED” probably have their own story.
The pack was released to find the true trail, or at least the marks that survived the rain.
The Trail
Off from the parking lot, the pack branched out to find marks indicating that they were on the true trail. Much confusion was present as apparently the hare was doing a fine job of marking trail after the pack had moved on.

The trail continued until the regroup was discovered. Apparently the tour included the sights and sounds of Inglewood, coming very close to Cold Garden.
At the regroup, all were happy with the selection of fine beverages available for the pack. The group got set up for parking lot down down’s

The Down Down’s
On In was appointed the Religious Advisor (RA) for the closing ceremonies. I am sure that it was an epic event that will be understood by those that were there by the limited number if pictures I have to work with.
The choir of Hot Cheeks and PMS were in control of the tempo of the ceremony.
On In as RA. ChoirLocal feature
Some of the highlights of the down down’s include:
Liquor Lots was invited to wear her Race Shit inside out. Apparently Shakesbeer had some sort of a race flag. Twisted Sister, Dastardly and Tighty Whitey were call out for being short cutting walkers. Perhaps even crashed Sucks Everything’s residence. Snow Blower had a milestone run – 269. Some recognition of the cut throat Rock, Paper Scissors events on trail.

In the absence of evidence, I would imaging that the down down’s were outstanding, the group was happy, and On In declared the group “on the piss”.
Trail Summary
Looks like a solid 6 km of trail were delivered and enjoyed. I think the rain was just for dust control as the down down’s in the parking lot seemed to happen. Great trail by Lying Sack of Shit.
With Mother’s Day celebrations in hand, who would be better to set trail than two enthusiastic harrierettes, who also are mothers. The plan was to set the mother of all trails. Not to be missed and not to be taken lightly.
Please come and run our trailClean shoes guaranteed!
Princess Monkey Spanker (PMS) and Strap On Crampon set the trail from Rip’s Pub & Eatery in Millrise SW. Close proximity of Fish Creek Provincial Park and all manners of elevation changes, mud, dirt ,trees animals an, of course, Fish Creek!
Rip’s Pub claim to be very supportive of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders football team. I hope they do not check for Saskatchewan credentials at the door. Cheap beer and food deals are why we run, and they had both!
A fine venue
The weather was threatening, with rain in the forecast. Nothing to scare away the 21 hashers that showed up for the trail.
The group assembled outside in the parking lot anticipating the “mother” of all runs. Insane Bolt ran the circle as the group prepared for the run.
Circle Up
Looks like we had a archive and offspring of Menage-a-Trois, Ginger Stripe, who travelled from Ireland to run the trail.

With the announcements and introductions complete, it was time to have the hares introduce the trail and the marks they have used to set the trail.

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

The trail headed West toward Shawnee Slopes neighbourhood. Recollections of the people that bought houses here on the golf course, only to have the golf course redeveloped into more properties! Not all were happy with this.

As the pack got settled in, food and drink was ordered at the group seemed happy!
Down Down’s
Hump the Shark was the Religious Advisor for the evening. He organized his program and prepared for the closing ceremonies.
Down Down beerReady for action!
Hump the Shark appointed Stoolie and Skewbic Hair as choir. They sang themselves a song, and handed off the photographer duties to Ginger Stripe.

Hump the Shark went through his list of down down’s. The hares, hash shit, various crimes and other made up actions.

Trail Summary
A fine trail of 6 – 7 km’s. Fish Creek does not disappoint. Excellent work by PMS and Strap On crampon. One of the best trails I have never run.
Hash Extra
Unfortunately, your scribe was conflicted with a golfing appointment at the Lorrette course at Kananaskis. Even though the weather forecast called for snow, rain and cold, a fine round as the course was empty and there was no rain or snow. Something looking like sun appeared!
Those wimps scared away by a mere weather forecast!
With the warmer weather there is not shortage of celebrations. It seems like you celebrate May the Forth Be With You, then the next day it is Cinco de Mayo.
A monumental day in history May 5 is a celebration of Mexico’s victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. As Canada is all inclusive, nothing wrong with pretending to be Mexican and drink Corona and Tequila.
Shakesbeer volunteered to set trail in the fancy neighbourhoods of Elboya, Britannia and Elbow Park in the SW. Lots of up and down with the river valley through these neighbourhoods.
After some confusion over which parking lot was the right one to park, the pack assembled outside near the swimming pool area. Something looking like a circle started to form and we got busy with our program.
We had visitors, archives and new boots! A good turn out of 25 in great weather. We went through the formalities of introductions and announcements prior to hearing from the hare on what the trail would look like this evening.

Eventually, it was the hare to tell us about the trail that had been set for our running enjoyment. The “on” mark was the number 5, honouring the celebration day. A variety of other marks were described as well as pink flagging.
Here are the marksMake sure you find TREX
Some of the mark were cryptic while others were what we had seen before. What we were not told of was the multiple parks that were on this trail. Ample play time.
The pack was released and pointed in the direction of the parkland which surrounded the start.
The Trail
Stanley Park is a busy place. There were many activities we had to navigate as we looked for true trail. Eventually, the fast runners found what we were looking for.

Eventually, we came across the “HH” marks, which stood for Hash Hold. Mexican treats and some Mexican beer were had by those that got there first! Much happiness and celebration of knowing that we were near the end of the trail and close to the regroup.

From the hash hold, it was off to the parking lot for the regroup.
Regroup
Post regroup, we reconvened in the park to set up for outdoor down down’s.
Why are we waitingDown down’s soon
There were some snacks and refreshments that were enjoyed as we prepared for the closing ceremonies.
The Down Down’s
Hump the Shark was the self appointed Religious Advisor (RA). He canvassed the group to come up with suitable material for the down down’s. Usual lies and accusations. Dastardly prepared the beverages.
Hump the Shark – RAReady to Go
A choir of Hardly and Twisty was selected and the program started. The choir sang themselves a song and prepared for the forthcoming program.

To carry on the spirt of Cinco de Mayo, the post down down celebrations were held at a local pub featuring Mexican beer. A fun time was had until the closed down the restaurant as we arrived very close to that time.
Cinco de Mayo!

Trail Summary
The run ended up being somewhere between 7 and 9 km’s. Great trail set by Shakesbeer!
Hash Extra
Shakesbeer is very happy with his selfie stick. As such, he has provided evidence that he can take pictures of himself with sometimes other in the frame! You can never have too many pictures of the fun you are having….
We were pleased that Hump the Shark volunteered to set trail for this late April run. Lots of daylight, warm temperatures, no bugs yet, and plenty of trail to explore. There was some sort of an election happening on the day, but we were not going to let that get in the way of an epic hash run.
We have not run from the Douglasdale neighbourhood in the South East in a long time (if ever). As such, any trail set down there would be a new adventure.
Proximity to the Bow River suggested some shiggy opportunities may be available. Who knows what type of wildlife you would find!
The map provided was to the front gate of a baseball park, with two baseball diamonds and a full load of baseball people and there cars! Parking was at a premium, and some creativity was necessary to accommodate the hashers.
The group gathered near the pathway by the Bow River, out of the way of the baseball crowds!
Parked far awayWhere is the rest of the pack?
With no real location focus, the pack assembled into something looking like a circle to prepare for the instructions from the hare.

Princess Monkey Spanker called the circle to order and went through the formalities. We had a visitor from Edmonton, Copsucker, who arranged her travel plans to accommodate the run.
PMS runs the circle
The hare was called into the circle to described the marks. In the absence of natural marking surfaces, Hump the Shark used to dirt to outline some faint renditions of what the marks might look like.

There was an Eagle/Turkey split which the hare neglected to tell us about. Being a smart bunch, we were able to muddle through the Eagle (Easy), Turkey (Tough) conundrum on the fly.
The pack was released and the early false trails were discovered in an attempt to find true trail.
The Trail
A false trail from the beginning was a nice touch. Marks leading into the river were a rouse. Do not get sucked in!

Hot Cheeks and Snevil volunteered to set trail for this fine April date. Now that we have daylight throughout the run, we can focus on making the trail longer and harder!
Apparently, the Dirty Duck Pub in Inglewood SE was the back up plan. Plan A was for a pub near Mount Royal, but declined to host a big group, so Dirty Duck it was!

The group arrived once they figured out where to park, and huddled in the confined spaces of the pub. A good turnout of intrepid hashers including archives and visitors!

The pack was distracted by a new park. Apparently, it seemed like a good idea to recreate the birthing of Bacchanal using the available playground equipment. It took many hands to recreate the event!
How much fun can we have with this shape?
This looks like a good idea!Let us pitch inFinally out
With the birthing event completed, off to the eagle/turkey split in the trail. How long and hard would you like it this time?
Two layers of park!
The marks and the motivation to follow true trail started to dwindle. From the two layer park, the trail became a “dead reckoning” to where the regroup vehicle was spotted earlier in the run. With the tracks and other neighbourhood obstacles, both good and bad choices were made, but the regroup was eventually found.

Apparently, some of the hashers needed more distance to achieve their desired distance numbers. Others were pleased with the trail treasures that had been discovered and collected!

Hump the Shark had a plan for the choir. He selected Beer in the Rear, Slow Clap and Skewbic Hair as choir. After the down down for the choir, he then designated Slow Clap as photographer so Skewbic Hair could focus on choir duties!

Trail Summary
The trail was between 7 and 9 km’s, depending on your Eagle vs Turkey leanings. A fine trail showcasing the views of Inglewood and the East Village.
With spring in the air, King Shit and Bacchanal volunteered to set trail on this mid April day. The weather was good and the hares had planned a multi stop adventure to celebrate the day. The start point was Citizen Brewing Company, a location familiar to the group. As this was a A to B run. the down downs were at a local pub called Offside Pub and Eatery. Some chose to park in between the A and the B.
The pack assembled at Citizen Brewing, some enjoying a pre run refreshment.

Of interest, is that Citizen is next door to Pyro’s secret training centre. We now know how Pyro keeps in good shape!

PMS stepped in and sent us across the street to the customer parking lot to circle up. We had visitors, birthdays and a new boot, plus numerous versions of the hash shit available for distribution.

There were multiple hash holds on the run promising some interesting experiences! As well, there was talk of five playgrounds for your playing pleasure.

Many photo’s were taken and shared for this run. Here are some to add to the experience!

Pyro volunteered to set trail in Ranchlands NW. We have ran from the Stonewall Pub in the past, and have experienced the trails and forests of this neighbourhood. Pyro has lots of experience but admitted that he found new terrain in the scouting that he was pleased to include in the run.
The pack assembled in the pub until it was time to circle up outside.
Stonewall Pub in Ranchlands NW
There was a parking lot at the rear of the strip mall, well suited for a circle to form. Insane bolt ran the circle.
Circle up
The formalities of announcements and introductions proceeded. No unusual business except for the announcement that our next Mismanagement meeting will happen on Tuesday at the Elephant and Castle Pub.
The group figured out how to make a circle and prepared for the adventure that would unfold courtesy of Pyro.

The pack was released and dispersed to find the trail.
The Trail
Out of the parking lot, marks were found and the pack was afoot. Large H’s on the sidewalk were found and followed. The sound of “On On” resonated through the neighbourhood.

It was decided that the down down’s would be outside. Weather was good and we could splash out more down down beer.
The Down Down’s
Camshaft was the Religious Advisor for the evening. He scratched down some digital notes on his phone and collected stories from the group. Eventually, it was show time and the ceremonies started!

There were some antics involving Skewbic Hair, for some crime of insignificant proportion.
Apparently, there was some evidence of photo’s of photo’s.
With all done, we honoured the RA with a down down and were declared “on the piss”.
Camshaft – Great RA
The group retired to the pub for beer and food. Not a lot of pictures, just this evidence of yam fries.

Trail Summary
A fine trail close to 5 km’s. Great views and lots of up and down made the run an enjoyable experience. Thanks to Pyro for a fine trail.
Setting a run on the eve of April Fool’s Day can be an interesting time. One of the hares, Hot Quickie, is know as April in the non hashing world. Both Beer in the Rear and Hot Quickie are marathon distance people. What could possibly be in store for the group!
The pack assembled at Shank’s Sports Grill on Macleod Trail in the South West.
Through this door pass the thirsty and hungry sports minded folks!
A large emporium to drinking, eating and sports, we arrived to take in the scale of the place inside. Our server was very interested in the group as she claimed to have some running and drinking aspirations!

We were set with a private section in the bar for when we returned from out run.
PMS made some sort of command to get the group outside to circle up in the parking lot. With the daylight hours, no flashlights required!

The pack was released into the traffic on MacLeod Trail looking for marks.
The Trail
Along the roads we found marks in pink. The trail was not overmarked, so each mark found was a revelation!

After the playing was done, the group moved on to find more attractions. The bridge over the C-Train lines offered some views of urban development.

We are unsure what to make of this. There are siemens involved and a notice to refrain from humping
Once over the tracks, all Horton Roads lead to the regroup.
Regroup in action!
From the regroup, off to the bar for the down down’s.
The Down Down’s
The pack settled in to our designated section and ordered beer and food. Chatting and socializing prior to the start of the closing ceremonies. Slow Clap, supported by Hump the Shark, got the facts straight for the stories and lies they were about to perform.

With the limited down down beers ready to go, the Religious Advisors were ready to go. A choir was selected of Strap On and Slippy Thong and the performance commenced.

Best RA performance by Slow Clap. More to come!

Trail Summary
We ran somewhere between 6 and 7 km’s through the neighbourhood of Haysboro. Great views of MacLeod Trail and the C-Train tracks. More hills in Haysboro than you would expect!
Hash Extra
More foolish pictures from the Monday run. Don’t get fooled again!
Burns Block in Inglewood – Where Beer and Pinball Live
The Beginning
Tighty Whitey volunteered to hare this run. With the longer daylight hours, we start in the light and end in the twilight. Burns Block Social Club in Inglewood SE was the start point for the run. The location is the legacy Revival Brewery and Arcade which features plenty of pinball games.
The hashers assembled inside only to be instructed to circle up in the rear parking lot. A rather hap hazard collection this week, struggled to get the circle shape right.
A good turn out for a warm day with daylight for the run!

PMS, returning from some exotic travel destination, was in charge of the circle. Announcements and introductions were conducted and the hare was called into the circle. Perhaps AP had some role in setting the trail as well…..

Follow these marks and all will be revealed.
After the marks were described, with an emphasis on the viewpoint, the pack was released into the setting sun.
The Trail
Off through the streets of Inglewood, along the Elbow River toward the Saddledome. Good views along the pathways were enjoyed until the stairs were discovered.

Apparently this signage is significant. Not sure if it is the family name recognition that Bacchanal identifies with, of the offer to stop for a 3 way….. Choices?
Who knew?
The sun set was observed and for those that found the stairs, a viewpoint was provided!

The Down Down’s
Back to the Burns Block Social Club to get organized for the down down’s. Tight quarters makes for a cozy situation. Beer and food order in preparation for the main event.
What is the best deal here?
Hump the Shark was the Religious Advisor for the evening, and the choir was Dastardly and Roaring Nancy. The program started with an acknowledgement to the choir, the hare, and Shakesbeer.
Here’s to the HareShakesbeer – Not on trail
A series of crimes and accusations were revealed, which included:
AP and Pyro for discussing politics on trail, LSOS for being an archive and arriving back to Canada injured, Karla, the new boot. Shortcutting, bike riding to the hash, and other serious events.

Trail Summary
If you made no mistakes, the trail was 5 km. Not what most people observed as 6 + km was typical. Great trail!
Hash Extra
The scribe was unfortunately unable to attend the run due to a skiing engagement in Jasper. I am sure I would have enjoyed the trail if I was there. My substitute fun was OK as well!
