Once on Trail…This is a featured page

The trail is laid by the Hare using set marking "Hash Marks" with colored flour; the majority of the time the trail is set a few hours in advance of the hash, rarely we have "live hares" which are given a 15 minute head start to mark a trail before we release the hounds (hashers). The whole idea of marking the trail is to help guide and keep all Hashers (runners and walkers) somewhat together during the hash and to have them reach beer-stops and the finish at about the same time, this is done by the Hare(s) setting;

On Trail
  • False Trails,
  • Checks,
  • Boob Checks,
  • Dead Ends.

    It is up to each Hasher to follow Internationally accepted forms of communication during the hash. These simple shouts, also known as “Calls of the Wild” help ensure the route, difficulty, and length of the trail retains the same form the Hare(s) planned on. The terrain covered during a typical hash is between 3 to 6 miles (5-10 kilometers), which should take about 45 minutes to 60 minutes to complete.
