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.

Regroup at dusk

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.

CH3 MisManagement Revealed!

The Beginning

A lot to pack in to the last run in September. Not only was it orange shirt day everywhere, it was the annual Erections run where new MisManagement is announced.

The start location was the Marda Loop Brewing Company. As Marda Loop is in a perpetual state of reconstruction with associated detours and parking challenges. My GPS directed me on a road that was closed.

Thankfully, we new about the secret parking behind the pub, and all was made good again. People in orange gathered in the pub awaiting the start of the run.

On In and PMS declared that it was time to form a circle outside on the sidewalk. Another feature of the run was impending darkness. The shortness of daylight is becoming more a headlight required condition for enjoying the run.

On In went through the circle. Archives Mydol, No Hare and Hooplala. Snow Blower celebrating 250 runs. The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks for the trail.

Hot Cheeks pointed in a direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

The trail headed off into the streets and sidewalks of the Marda Loop neighbourhood. Many checks and false trail were included in the mix. Eventually, the trail was discovered and followed.

With the light fading, we eventually made our way to the regroup which was in a secret location.

A fine selection of refreshments were enjoyed prior to heading back to the pub for the down down’s and erections.

On In and Down Down’s

We had a section of the patio reserved for the group. As we got settled in, the fine Marda Loop Brewing products came out.

Hump the Shark was appointed as Religious Advisor and the refreshments were poured and made ready.

The choir was Skewbic Hair and Slow Clap. Between the two of them, they knew just about enough songs.

The celebration of the run started with acknowledging the hares. Then multiple offences and crimes before the big event….Erections!

And then, PMS took charge to announce the new mismanagement.

Are you ready for this?

As mismanagement positions are highly desirable and sought after, the back room wheeling and dealing was complete and we had a team engaged to sustain the group for another year.

On In was thanked for his tenure as co Hashmaster, and Insane Bolt will fill his shoes. PMS was coerced in holding onto her Hashmatress role for “one more year”.

There were other changes in the ranks, and this will be posted on the website. Here is a group shot of CH3 MisManagement: 2024-2025.

On the piss was declared and we were done.

Run Summary

The trail ended up close to 5 km’s, depending on how you managed the check backs and false trails.
