Waukesha Hash House Harriers Hare Checklist


THE VENUE (known as the "ON-IN")

NOTE: $4.50 a head goes a lot farther in beer and food if we are not in a bar for the ON-IN, so consider forest parks, someone’s home or backyard, etc. when the weather permits!!
 

THE TRAIL
  • Weekends: 5-7 miles (1-2 hours with stops), Weekdays: 3-5 miles (no more than 1.5 hours)

  • Death Marches, especially in very hot or cold weather, aren't necessary except for special occasions, we are a drinking club with a running problem, NOT the other way around!!!!

  • Consider Eagle/Turkey splits for those who cannot run long distances, bring dogs, or have small children with them.

  • Hare pays for beer stops.

  • Water on a hot day will make the hares popular (as if you give a damn!).

  • Use Waukesha hash marks. You must explain any variations during chalk talk.

  • WHITE FLOUR IS DISCOURAGED IN THE WUAKESHA HASH. If you need to use flour, color it with carpenter’s chalk (Home Depot, Ace) or food coloring, but it must be clearly "not white"!!! This is a Milwaukee Police request due to the 9/11 anthrax fears!!
Other suggestions
  • Add chalk, Jello or Kool-aid to the flour to color it. 
  • On sidewalks and streets, use blackboard chalk or sheetrock to avoid piles of any kind of flour.
  • Consider using birdseed or peanut shells or some other harmless alternative to flour to mark trail (Cereal Killer once marked a trail in cereal boxes).  Yarn, tape or toilet paper also work in some terrain.
  • For Downtown hashes, use extra caution to avoid another incident.  Be sensitive to areas such as government buildings.
  • Consider notifying the local police prior to a run. The police can be very helpful if they know in advance that we are harmless.
  • Keep the pack together: Use plentiful, consistent marks and enough checks, loops and splits to keep everyone running together. THIS IS CRITICAL!!! – We are a social club!

  • Use plenty of white chalk or brightly colored flour at night—bits of drywall works great and can be obtained free from debris dumpsters at most construction sites (bonus)!

  • Long straight-a-ways really suck, keep it interesting, and leave opportunities for short cutting.

  • A to B hash: Leave the B location and phone number at the start for latecomers and lost hashers. Select a B location near the A. If you cannot, coordinate a shag wagon for run bags. Also, if possible, note the location of the beer stop(s) for latecomers too.
     
  • SWEEP THE TRAIL The hare is responsible for finding any lost hounds on trail, and sweeping and marking checks and splits ensures that no one will be forever lost. If you cannot personally sweep, give a responsible hound chalk to mark checks and splits after the pack has passed them.
     

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • If you sign up to be a hare and cannot do it, YOU are responsible for find a replacement, the Hareraiser will try to help you by suggesting names, but IT’S YOURS TO FIX!!!
     
  • Get the information to the right people to publish – 14 DAYS BEFORE THE HASH!!!.
     
  • The right people are: the GM and the Hareraiser.
     
  • The right information is: Venue, address, time, auto and public transportation instructions and any special information (theme run, food served, etc.) that you want to publish to spice it up and make it interesting!! If the venue parking sucks, SAY SO, so that hashers can anticipate it.

 

 

Waukesha Marking Standards

OBJECTIVE: KEEP THE PACK TOGETHER
 

Arrow (chalk) - on a trail
Dot (colored flour) - on a trail
Split trail - which way is on? (need one mark to be on)
Check - trail could go in any direction from here (3 marks to be ON-ON). Some hares prefer to use two marks.
3 marks after check is ON-ON (can be arrows &/or dots)
     
  True trail - you are REALLY on
Backcheck – number of marks to go back; if no number, look back all the way to the last check
F False trail - return to check or split
YBF REALLY False trail - return to check or split
BVC Be Very Careful - keep your eyes open, there's some kind of hazard (like a busy intersection) nearby
BN Beer is near (less than 1/4 mile)
Beer check (Beer Here!!)

The Hash House Harriers are an informal worldwide social group. Individuals participating in Waukesha Hash House Harriers events, in the act of participating explicitly represent they are adults of legal age to consume alcoholic beverages per the statutory requirements of the State of Wisconsin (i.e. grown-ups) and are solely responsible for their own behavior and actions. By participating in hash events, the individual further acknowledges that, although unlikely, as with anything that includes sporting and/or athletic-type activities, one could possibly cause injury to oneself and that knowing this, they acknowledge they are aware of the potentially deleterious effects of the consumption of alcoholic beverages in various quantities and are therefore personally responsible for their own personal consumption of alcoholic beverages if they so choose to voluntarily indulge, driving (highly discouraged), running in a wide variety of terrains, their actions within a community as well as their own personal behavior resulting therefrom in general. The Chicago H3 and its individual members, heirs, and all assigns are not in any way responsible for the actions of anyone, i.e. y'all are responsible for your individual selves. Have fun, enjoy the company of your peers, be responsible, and be considerate of others. Lighten up folks, this is all for fun, so be smart and be safe!
