Special Hashes throughout the Year
The hashes listed below *generally* happen each year. Hashes denoted with *are traditions that hares have started.
Grayed out lines are ones that we no longer do. They are still on the list for historical purposes.
Ideas for other trails are white dress, black dress, onesie hash, Christmas in July, or any reason to dress up.
Occasionally, a special hash will pop up that is not listed here, like a wedding hash. Those are marked with the “special hash” category.
Who can do them? Anyone who is willing!
Does it have to be a charity event? No. This is fully up to the hares.
What charity should I pick? If the hares want to do the event for a charity, the charity is up to them. The only concern is to make sure that the charity abides by the Code of Conduct.
How much money do I donate? Once again this is up to the hares. Dress and special runs can sometimes be large events which require lots of time and money.
