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.

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.
With all the planning and fanfare around the recent Run 2400 weekend, it was challenging to find a hare so set the regular Monday. Thankfully, Hot Quicky agreed to set trail in the SW community of Somerset. This community is rich with neighbourhood trails and parks! So many playgrounds to keep the pack entertained.
We began our run from a neighbourhood. With the modern neighbourhood design, this implies one sidewalk and limited street parking. Nevertheless, the group was able to find all the available parking they needed, and set themselves up in the back yard in preparation for the run.
Getting ready for the Run
PMS called the circle to order and we went through the formalities of announcements and introductions.

PMS called the hare into the circle to tell us about the trail.
Hare! Tell us what we need to know!I have chalkI will make the marksHere your go!
With the marks described, Hot Quicky directed us out to the street and pointed the direction of the marks. The pack was released to find the trail.
The Trail
Off along the street until we found a neighbourhood pathway leading off into a lush green corridor. Marks were found and the pack called out.

More pathways, streets and sidewalks eventually lead to the end. Refreshments and down down’s in the back yard.

Down Down’s
The pack gathered and got settled in for the down down’s. Chairs appeared and a social circle formed.
Beverages were prepared and Hump the Shark assembled his material for the closing ceremony.

Trail Summary
The run of over 5 km was great! Lots of territory we had not been to. Great trail set by Hot Quicky.
Hash Extra
Some hashers found some unusual items on trail, including a wind up car and a glacier erratic.
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.

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.
Dastardly knows about the train crossing problemLL tries to correct a racist dressing problemNice socksShakesbeer trying to fix something?PMS guards the coolerLC has another pair of socks just like this!Nice socks – Tighty WhiteyMatching
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.
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!

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.

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!
Tighty Whitey succumbed to the guilt of not having set a run in the recent weeks. He cratered and volunteered to take the date of December 9, 2024. His plan was to set the run from Inglewood from a taproom/pub formerly known as the Revival Brewing and Arcade (Revival Brewcade), now know as Burn Block Social Club. A key feature of this establishment is the pinball arcade games.
What kind of hasher does not enjoy ancient pinball games, especially if it is free on Monday night? As such, a run was set to introduce the hash to this new establishment and enjoy the sights and sounds on the Inglewood neighbourhood.
A good turn out with 27 hashers, including archives, new boots and the balance of the group.
The group converged on the taproom/arcade and got ready for the run.
Getting ready to runWhat a great place to run from!
Looks like PMS ran the circle, and introduced the pack to archives (Mermaid, Maple, Cocktail and Not Too Deep), as well as new boots, Just Lena and Just Natalie.
Tighty Whitey was called into the circle to describe the cunning trail he had concocted. Featuring and Eagle and Turkey split (of was that Easy and Tough). Marks were displayed on a wall for all to enjoy.

Bonus Content
Scoobie was unfortunately unable to make the run due to a conflicting ski camp and Mount Norquay. Sun, snow and fun. All part of making Scoobie a better skier.
The Grey Cup is the final game of the Canadian football season. The winner gets to take home the Grey Cup.
There was some hope that the local team would be present to compete, but that was not the case. As such, we were relegated to celebrating the Grey Cup football game with a run, and a watch party.
Grey Cup was held in Vancouver in an enclosed stadium, with teams from Toronto and Winnipeg participating.
Booty Camp and Snow Blower hosted the run. This is a special run on the Sunday in the afternoon. Thankfully, the weather was good for the run. Snow predicted for that evening, but the daytime was double digits and sunny.
A group of intrepid hashers showed up, running without the burden of headlamps. We gathered initially inside, awaiting the late cummers to arrive.
