Where: Point Au Roche Boat Launch, Breezy Point Lane, Plattsburgh, NY

————————————

Before making the big move to the Vermont side, is showing off his rizz and giving us a sneak peek of his OG turf over at Point Cockroach State Park (yeah, apparently that's a real name) near Plattsburgh. You know: the “other side” of Lake Champlain. Helping us navigate this chaotic vibe is gonna be 2 Guys—because let’s be honest, our rookie hare might just get us all lost. Word on the street is there are plenty of sus landmasses shaped like, uh… you know.

We’re starting at the Point Au Roche Boat Launch (Google Maps probs won’t help you, sorry not sorry). If you’re prone to getting lost like Ohio, plug these GPS coords in: 44.803153, -73.364520.

We’re kicking off at noon sharp so we don’t end up wandering in the dark, but bring a cranium lantern just in case—new hares are unpredictable like that. 😅 Expect full skibidi toilet energy.

🏃What is Hashing?
What do you get when you combine running (or walking), a combination scavenger hunt, silly songs, inappropriate jokes, kilts, and beer?
Meet the Hash House Harriers, a non-competitive running social club. Hash runs, called trails, are non-competitive scavenger hunt-style events where you can enjoy a scenic run/walk at your own pace followed by a social gathering with food and drink. The route is marked on the ground with chalk or biodegradable flour. The "hare" is a volunteer who plans the run and marks the trail. The "hounds" are the other runners who follow the trail. Just like a scavenger hunt!

🤔 Do I have to run?
Nope! In hashing, the athletic and competitive aspects of running take a back seat to the social side of things. Hashing caters to all levels of runners, with a few walkers at each hash. Von Tramp hash trails are usually 3-6 miles; most even have a split trail for walkers or runners who wish to do a shorter distance.

🍻 Do I have to drink?
While we do enjoy a nice cold beer, consumption is completely optional. There is always water and non-alcoholic options. There is never any obligation to drink alcohol.

🌲 Who are the Von Tramp Hash House Harriers?
The Von Tramp Hash House Harriers (VTH3) was founded in 2021 by two thirsty hashers who did not want to stop being active during winter in Vermont. We run every other Saturday during winter (November-April). You can see when all of our upcoming trails are happening on our website. You can also join us on Facebook.

👋 Ready to give hashing a try?
Join us for a trail! All you need is some comfortable running gear. If it's a wet or wintry day, a change of clothes (or at least socks) is recommended.
We're a very welcoming and accepting group of lovable idiots. And who knows, you might even enjoy yourself. Plus, your first trail is always free!
BUT....... if you're still wondering if hashing is right for you, check out our blog post that covers everything you need to know about hashing with us here in Vermont.

❗This meet-up is intended to help reach out to new members.
Don't let the low numbers of people who RSVP on this site fool you: there are generally 15 to 20 hashers at every event! They're just all bad at social media.

All attendees must be 21+.
