Run 2400 – A Milestone Delivered!

The Beginning

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.

PMS summoned the group up the stairs to the parking lot to conduct the circle.

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 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.

We tried to amuse ourselves prior to the arrival of the food truck. I not sure of the meaning or symbolism of some of these pictures, but you can judge for yourselves.

Trail Summary

The epic trail was somewhere between 5 and 6 km. Excellent celebration run!

Run

Regroup in Sight, Over there!

The Beginning

Liquor Lots and OPP volunteered to set the run for the week. They chose the Weaselhead Natural Area in the SW by the reservoir. An area notorious for critters, mud, water, dense forest, and steep trails. The perfect location for a hash run.

Both OPP and LL did their due diligence to ensure that the hash would be entertained by the trail they had chosen.

Steep terrain coupled with high water levels provided shiggy galore. We were warned to bring dry shoes and socks to change into after the run.

The other problem we had to deal with is the onset of darkness. This time of year sucks as each day is materially shorter than the day before. Blinding sun at the start of the run, and post sunset conditions at the end of the trail.

Hashers began to gather in the parking lot of North Glenmore Park Weaselhead access. A reasonable turn out of 23 intrepid souls ready to go hashing.

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

Who eliminated my shadow?

The hares in the circle explained the chalk marks and flour marks that marked the trail.

This marks should do it.
In addition there is some enormous poo dumps on trail. Something large is out there.

Liquor Lots raised her arm and pointed in some general direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

From the parking lot, some choices on which pathways to take. We have been sucked into the huge steep climb down to the water in the past. We needed to be sure. The sun was blinding.

Very sunny to start
Great views
Some say that this was steep
See that bridge down there? That is where you are headed.

Many natural sights were observed on trail. Here is a selection of some of the experience that was had by the group.

As the sun set, and twilight started to take over, we had some climbing to do before the end of the trail.

All good runs must come to and end. We set up the down down circle in the parking lot in anticipation of regroup and down down refreshments.

Regroup and Down Down’s

It was planned to be parking lot down down’s, so bring your own chair.

Getting ready for down downs

A bit of a delay before the keys for the regroup vehicle appeared. This was acknowledged with a down down later in the program.

Hump the Shark was the religious advisor, by unanimous consideration. He selected King Shit and Insane Bolt as choir. Photographic quality deteriorates as the sun goes down. People move way too quickly in the darkness.

The program was delivered with humour, panache and pace. A quick succession of crimes and punishments were delivered to the offending hashers.

In the dark, Hump the Shark declared us “on the piss”. Limited interest in off to the bar for more celebration, so an abbreviated version was conducted in the parking lot in the dark.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of somewhere between 5 km and 6 km. Appreciate the effort to set the wilderness trails, which become more difficult as the dark season encroaches.
