wednesday

was a day to decide whether i should do rock climbing or hashrun to fill up the evening. wasn't that tough of a choice since i told Yuri earlier that i will be joining, so hashrun i went. apparently hashrun was originated all the way from malaysia since 1938, place where i came from and i had no idea - mother of hash.

a hashrun club often refer as a drinking club with running problem. good reference =). first run was free and 3.5 euros for a subsequence run. a trail will be preset by hares (marshalls) and it could be anywhere but mostly in a park, last evening was a city run ie we ran thru buildings, roadsides or below the hiways. quite scenic i would say, should have brought my camera.

a typical trail would consists of markers and a couple of checkpoints. runners or walkers will run or walk along the markers which some could be disguise or hidden and once spotted by front runners they would shout "on!on!" to notify the rest. and checkpoints normally is more trickier where you have to find the next direction which the next marker would be somewhere further and would take time to discover. something like a treasure hunt without treasure - but of course - beer.

participants can run or walk with their own pace, strickly no racing. and the reward of the running - beer. some crisps will be given out at the end of the run and some little party will be held. hmm ... i'm not sure what else i missed out but more info can always be found here www.haguehash.nl. overall a fun and very interesting evening no doubt.
