VTH3 Trail #079: The Haunted Ghoulash Anniversary — Saturday Run/Walk/Hike

When: Saturday, November 1, 2025, 1:00 PM HST
Where: Bombardier Park West, Milton VT
Hares: Drunk in the Trunk and Broke As Mountain
What to bring: $6.9 hash cash, a Halloween costume, leftover candy, one of those big 4 balloons that will probably just fly away when you open the trunk of your car, something for our souper on-after potluck, gently used couches

————————————

On November 1st, Von Tramp is turning the big 4.0 and you’re all invited! 🥳 We’re celebrating with a shiggilicious trail, cheap adult beverages, and bowls of tepid soup. We’re heading to Bombardier Park West in Milton to explore alleged “new trails” but it’s really just an excuse for all of us to toss on our Halloween costumes and run around the woods. Best costume wins a special, limited edition prize! And bonus points awarded if your costume gets shredded on trail.

After trail, join us down the street at DiiT & BAM’s Mojo Dojo for a Souper Spooky Potluck Party. Show off your culinary skills by bringing a soup, side, salad, or dessert to share with the group. We’ll celebrate late into the night with leftover candy, ghoulish games, a raging bon fire, heated debates about what constitutes a soup, and maybe even some karaoke if we’re feeling really rowdy. I’ve also heard DiiT will have the grill fired up to provide us with glorious tube steaks all night long.
Maybe we’ll even find another couch along the way.

🏃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+.
