Run 2929 – by Prairie Dog GRIZZLY with Co-Hare JACK RUSSELL

– 22nd June 2026

Set in Jolimont on a fine winter evening following the Winter Solstice with a moderate turnout of about 25 hashmen.

The run with 8 runners and 1 dog, started clockwise through Mabel Talbot Park before circling through the trendy Subiaco Common development then via several underpasses including under Hay Street, and twice under the railway line through Daglish (see map in photos). Recorded at 7.7km in 1hr 11mins or 8.8km for front runners APITW and Soft Rock.

Not to be outdone by last week’s hares Grizzly preceded the circle with hors d’oeuvres of Pork Dumplings and Whiskey!

At the circle GM Pitt called up Skippy (returnee (and as of this solstice a newly joined member)); Chunder (54 year anniversary); Polly (birthday). RA Moses called up himself and Colonel (acknowledging Geelong’s defeat to the Dockers). Polly told the Joke about a student outwitting his professor to get an A. Bushie noted several irregularities in Grizzly’s run setting – who need signs? Action gave the run a mostly favourable run assessment… and the RA awarded the run a magnificent score of 9.9.

Ramrod presented the raffle boot to Phantom who drew the winning ticket, won by Elbows (not present) so the card drawn by Polly – the Queen of Hearts.

Dinner was an excellent sweet and sour pork with fried rice, after dumpling starters no doubt with the assistance of Mrs Grizzly, who surely has earned a Gordon Blue nomination!

Where else would you be on a Monday?

Run 2928 – Rimmer in Warwick – PD write up

Run 2928 – Rimmer in Warwick 
Set mostly in the picturesque Warwick Open Space woodlands, with the temperature hovering slightly above zero, 10 runners and perhaps twice as many walkers were treated to a Rimmer special, complete with drink stop – actually a West Coast drink stop with no drinks offered – and a distance measured at 6.3km in 53 minutes. No casualties reported and even Pothole managed to keep up with the pack helped by Soft Rock’s masterful trumpeting.
The circle was preceded with hors d’oeuvres (see pics). GM Pitt called up Returnees including Sir Knob, Gumby, Nanny. Griz was acknowledged (weather skills?). Pothole tried to dig himself out of a hole of his own making by passing the blame to Soft Rock. Sir Knob had a down-down in recognition of Lilyana’s Order of Australia; Ramrod presented “the boot” and Stewie drew the winning raffle ticket – won by Soft Rock, but unlucky with the Joker and had to make do with a fine bottle of wine.
RA Mastitis waxed lyrical on his NT travels with crocodile tales and a souvenir; the joke told by Stewie about a workplace with no tea breaks (or wank breaks); Soft Rock and visitor Ted were called up to represent the Germany vs Curacao soccer match fiasco; and Rimmer’s run was assessed using the ball-bag technique assisted by Jack Russell and Gumby with a score of 9.8.
Dinner was individually portioned chicken curry with rice – much appreciated on a cold night.

Run 2927- Phantom: run report by Rimmer

Coming down the freeway heading for Phantoms run in the leafy suburb of Nedlads, the city of Perth was barely visible through the rain, and I’m thinking not for the first time, “What the heck am I doing out on a night like this?” However, skirting around Leederville, there was no rain and arriving at Phantom’s favourite run venue, the Gods were very kind to the old devil as it was a dry and relatively warm night at Hollywood Bowling Club, where the run started.
About twenty-odd runners and walkers were set off at 6 pm by Phantom, and the walkers were led by Stewie, who did an excellent job keeping us all together. It was a very pleasant walk through a number of back lanes (Which we only see in the posh suburbs), and we all arrived back at the bucket in just under an hour, a sign of a well-laid-out run.
As for the runners, as far as I know, only Pothole stuffed up. All reports said it was a good run, and again it took the full hour, as I said, a sign of a well-set run.
The circle was short and sweet. Moses told a joke about the Pope, but the only one listening was Maggie, and I don’t think even she got the gist of it. There were a few returnees, and Reluctant was presented with an engraved beer jug for twenty-five years in Perth Hash House Harriers.
On On until next Monday,
Rimmer.

Run 2926- HAGGIS and ELBOWS do a virgin

FROM THE PHANTOM
It was Tuesday and numbers were down both for PH3 and WC kids.
We were a bit panicky when the bucket reported long delay on Freeway bur POLLY and XMAS were there when it counted.
The spot was definitely VIRGIN and we set off on 2 runs One for Runners (probably 12 with WC)
The other for WALKERS only set by that great VIRGIN ruiner Elbows
Both worked well until latter stages
He used lotsa walkways and even a couple of FTs for Walkers-That was Virgin.
The run was well marked once we got used to a V as arrow for Walkers but one stage Runners had an FT but at the same time ON ON for Walkers. Smart bastards as we are we sorted it out but after that BASIL did his own thing and followed trail, DICKY and PHANTOM got confused and the rest of us went home
The whole pack was back by 7:15 although in dribs and drabs.
FRANGER was there did not appear to disrupt the run with his exceptional pace. Note Ed. Huge pace disparity Emu and Moses 6.0km, Bushie a bit more, Soft Rock 7.3km, Fry 8.4 km and Phranger who knows? Lots.
PEMBO performed with Circle and a joke and HAGGIS fed the multitudes with a mild Green Chicken curry Well done all at a new site and something different for Walkers
