Where: 14th Star Brewing, 133 N Main St, St Albans City, VT
Hares: Three Ring Jerkus and Herp Alert
What to bring: $6.9 hash cash, detective hats, large magnify glasses, better riddles, better clues, a map of St. Albans, your ID

————————————

Jerkus has decided that Vermont winters just aren’t cold enough for him so he’s packing up and moving to the midwest. Before he is stricken from the active roster of Vermont hashers, he wants to make amends for his past haring transgressions with a final riddle trail that he promises won’t be filled with gibberish and parking lot security. And somehow he’s convinced Herp that this is a “great idea” and “everyone will love it.” If the prospect of a riddle trail didn’t already make you want to jump up and down with excitement, we’re also traveling further up I-89 to St. Albans for trail. Hey, at least we start at a brewery!

SPECIAL OFFER!

Limited time offer while supplies last. Offer only valid in states that start with the letter V.

🏃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+.
