The Grey Cup – A Canadian Football Tradition

The Beginning

We have great hopes that the Canadian Football League will continue to function, and we support their endeavours. As this event is shortly after the MisManagement turnover, remembering that it a thing that we do and is a numbered run can be challenging!

We were pleased that Booty Camp and Snow Blower remembered and volunteered to hot this afternoon run. This is a special event with an afternoon run followed by a hosted feast and finally some sort of football game.

The game was in Winnipeg this year, and featured the Saskatchewan Rough Riders and the Montreal Alouettes. Absent from the roster was the local Calgary Stampeders football team. They, unfortunately, did not make it through the selection process. Hopes for next year!

The weather was surprisingly pleasant for mid November afternoon with sunny above zero temperatures and no snow. As such, setting trail and following marks were not as much of a problem that they could be at this time of year.

The group converged on the starting location and gathered inside in anticipation for the run start.

Given sufficient time to all to arrive, the group was called outside to circle up on the front lawn.

Camshaft called the circle to order and we went through the announcements and introductions.

The hare was called into the middle of the circle. Booty Camp made the marks and described their meaning. Snow Blower sends his regrets for not being their personally. Apparently an out of town commitment precluded his attendance in person, but he was instrumental in setting the trail.

Here are the marks. Should be easy to find trail!

Booty Camp pointed in the direction of the run start and the pack was released.

The Trail

Off into the neighbourhood to find the marks. On On was called and the runners dispersed. The walkers received instruction on which way to go and we were all off!

As we meandered through the leafy neighbourhood of Briar Park, we came upon our local shrine to the sport of football.

We chose to take a group shot of the walkers so we could remember what a great time we were having!

As we continued through the neighbourhood, we came upon the regroup vehicle and there was much rejoicing.

Apparently, some were wearing the colours of their preferred team. Here is the evidence!

The group enjoyed the regroup until it was time to head back to the run start to prepare for both the down down’s and the football game.

The Down Down’s

Inside the warmth of the inside, the group enjoyed snacks and refreshments. Much mingling and chatting in preparation for the closing ceremonies, feast and football game.

Tighty Whitey and Stool Stuffer were the tag team Religious Advisors. The refreshments were prepared to our beer wench, Liquor Lots (Sicker Lots).

The program started with a series of down down’s honouring the hare, and other various and sundry offences. A high contingent of sexual offences were called out!

With all done, we gave the RA’s a down down and we on the piss.

Much food and yummy things were enjoyed in anticipation of the big game. Lets see how this will end up!

Trail Summary

Apparently the runners endured something close to 7 km. The walkers trail was close to 4 km’s. A great trail for the Grey Cup Run.

A Park Like Setting for the Trail

The Beginning

Booty Camp and Snow Blower volunteered to set trail. The starting point was in Confederation Park, in the parking lot close to the public tennis courts. Fine weather was all around us, and the group assembled in the park.

Apparently PMS was monitoring the passage of time and started the circle early to enable the run to start early. Even though we say the run start is 7:00pm, we know that it really means 7:10pm to accommodate those that are held up by the crushing traffic.

As such, some of us missed the announcements and other formalities, but did manage to be included in the introductions.

The hashers formed a reasonable circle and the program was started.

PMS called the hares into the circle to describe the marks that had been set for the trail.

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

The Trail

We ended up back at the start and got set up for outdoor down down’s.

The stragglers made it back eventually and we prepared for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

Skewbic Hair was volunteered to be Religious Advisor. He prepared the program as the beverages were organized for consumption.

The choir was selected and the ceremonies commenced.

Scoobie wraps it up by having a down down for his RA duties, and declaring the group “on the piss”.

The group mingled around and enjoyed the fine warm evening, before packing it in for the evening.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of around 6 km was enjoyed by the pack. Thanks to Booty Camp and Snow Blower for setting a fine trail.

Good thing you can not see the temperature!

The Beginning

As the weather in Calgary is variable, it is not unexpected to need your full winter running gear and raincoat for a June run. Just a few short days ago it was shorts weather, but now it was multi layers.

Booty Camp and Snow Blower volunteered to set trail in the NW communities hear the North Hill mall. Expect to have some downhill with complimentary uphill and to potential for a view point now and again!

As fate would have it, the day the Booty Camp and Snow Blower move into the neighbourhood, the local pub, Tipperary’s , closes down. It was a good place to start the run from as they had a covered parking lot suitable to host the circle. Beware of the parking police if you choose to disregard the signs.

Hump the Shark assumed the role of Hash Master and got the circle rolling. We had three visitors from the US. What What Mud in the Butt and Running Girl from Philadelphia, and Spicy Onion Balls from Florida. The hares were called into the circle to tell us about the marks. Apparently, only pink flagging is good. Other flagging and other colours is bad. Some pink flagging might be just a trick.

With the formalities finished, the pack was released to find the marks.

The Trail

We found marks that lead us over the Trans Canada Highway (16 ave NW) to the posh community of Briar Hill. The streets and sidewalks were quite wet and marks for elusive except on some protected vertical surfaces. Thankfully, the hare was present to ensure we did not get too lost.

We stumbled across some great views of the city, giving our visitors something to take pictures of!

Eventually, a playground was found to challenge the climbing skills of some of our more disaster prone hashers.

With playing complete, the pack continued on to find the rest of the marks on our way to the North Hill Shopping Mall parking lot, then back over the Trans Canada Highway, until the regroup was discovered.

Regroup

Nothing like a warm garage when it is raining outside. The group was pleased to see all was well and out of the rain.

Down Down’s

Camshaft volunteered to be the Religious Advisor for the evening. He had a list and selected a choir to get the ceremonies off and running! Dastardly and Skewbic Hair were selected as choir.

The hares were acknowledged for setting a shitty trail, and the new boots were welcome to the group!

More accusation and offences were rewarded and the evening continued.

Eventually, when all the beer was drank and a down down to the RA. It was declared to be “on the piss”.

Running through the University

The Beginning

We were pleased to see that Booty Camp and Snow Blower volunteered to set this run. They have moved into the neighbourhood and were excited to show off the trails that can be found in this part of town up by the University. Fresh from a recent trip to Australia, they were primed to set an epic trail.

The group gathered inside at the pub to mentally prepare for the run. A good turn out with a couple of new boots, Rachel and Annie courtesy of Just10 Beaver!

PMS declared it was time to go outside and circle up in the cold. A quick change in weather reminded us that winter was not over and it was cold outside. Nevertheless, the group assembled in the parking lot to get the show on the road.

We went through announcements and opening formalities. Welcoming new boots, and acknowledging the milestone: Hardy and Twisty – 1500 runs, Hot Cheeks – 500 runs. Apparently these folks have not figured out how to get a life. The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks they had selected for tonight’s run.

Booty Camp raised her hand and pointed in a general direction for the run start. The pack was off!

The Trail

The pack dispersed to find the true trail. Many check backs were explored until the pack figured out that it went over Crowchild Trail to the University. A great job was done by those who found the trail and announced it to the balance of the pack. No lives were lost.

Playground can be a dangerous place. Pay attention to the hazards that exist when adults behave like children. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

The walkers provided some pictures to fill out the run experience.

After much fun and frolic, the regroup was discovered, close to the intended location. Plan was to have the regroup on Blow Street. Much planning went into this, however, the plan had to be adjusted when it appears that the Blow Steet sign has been stolen.

Regroup

The regroup was located by a happy group of runners and walkers. There was much rejoicing as the suitable refreshment was enjoyed prior to making it back to the pub for for down-downs.

Down Down’s

Skewbic Hair was appointed to be the Religious Advisor. The choir was acclaimed to be Dastardly, OPP and Lazy Cummer. There were many crimes, transgressions, awards and acknowledgements delivered.
