A message from Hump the Shark!

The Beginning

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!

PMS ran the circle, with announcements and introductions.

The hares were called in to the circle to describe the marks for the trail.

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!

Across the busy roads to the solace of the quiet neighbourhoods. You do not appreciated the hills and alleys in Haysboro until you have to run them.

Park action was enjoyed. Playtime was to focus. Safety first.

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.

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.

Eventually, the RA’s remembered to call up the hares and thank them for the run.

Other various and sundry offences were declared and celebrated.

Eventually, the production was complete and we were declared “on the piss”. Fine job by our aspiring RA Slow Clap. Strap On volunteered for next week (in case she forgets).

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!

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?

The sun set was observed and for those that found the stairs, a viewpoint was provided!

Some sunset shots were taken as proof that there was an actual viewpoint!

Down the stairs, back along the pathway to find more trail.

Apparently, there was some park action for the adventurous. Never let a play opportunity go by without taking time to play.

Hot Pants and Stool Stuffer sharing a moment

After many kilometers, the regroup was spotted and refreshments were enjoyed by all.

Eventually, it was time to get back to the pub to begin the down down’s

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.

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.

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.

Eventually, the material was spent, the beer was consumed and all was good.

Hump the Shark declares the group “on the piss”.

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!

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!
