The Idea:
Hashing is a socializing event and has nothing to do with competitive running. True? Yes......but for every hasher a run is a challenge of sorts: be it how to shortcut, be it how long to run uphill, be it for a fit guy to follow a girl with better stamina, be it to be the first one to find paper after the check. As energy gets depleted, one must resist that inner voice that tells you to rest and not to go further. But ultimately the running hound inside you pulls you ahead to finally get to the beer wagon and say to yourself: "Wasn't so bad. I DID IT and now I can enjoy my drink."Very long runs may not be every hasher's mug of beer. But while some do enjoy strolling through the jungle for hours on a recce or on a hike, others like to hack through the bushes to find a new waterfall for a dip. Many more enjoy couching themselves in front of the TV to watch the daredevils of the EcoChallenge and dream of: why not me?
For these true hashers and challenge hungry people Petaling Hash House Harriers organizes every 2 years a very special run and a challenge of sorts: 42 km through the best Malaysian hash terrain and forest, undoubtedly the finest in the world. It takes the average-fit hasher 10 or more hours to finish. Next one will be on Saturday 1st of May 2010.
The Concept:
- The Hash Challenge is a team event of 4 hashers running together. Each team must include at least 1 member of the opposite sex. (say 3 M/1F or 3F/1M or 2M/2F)
- Teams must follow a hash paper trail with checks (= no paper marks for 100 m) which every team has to break on its own.
- There are 6 to 8 control points (CP). Distance between control points is approximately 5 to 8 km. At the control points, the organizers will provide water, salts, some fruits and first aid. Every team must sign in/out complete at the CP.
- AS THIS IS A TEAM EVENT EACH TEAM MEMBER CAN ARRIVE AT EACH CHECK POINT INDIVIDUALLY BUT TEAMS MUST SIGN OUT AS A COMPLETE TEAM AND CAN ONLY LEAVE EACH CHECK POINT TOGETHER AS A TEAM.
- There will be a time frame for closing each CP and thus, for everyone's safety, runners may be not be allowed to start the next section if they are too late or incapacitated.
- The goal is that the team should remain together, hit all the control points within the given time frame and return to the OnOn site as a team.
- The event is limited to 40 teams maximum: First come, first paid, first served! The event is open to hashers and non hashers.
