Medellin H3 Red Dress Run

As hashing resumes once again in scattered areas around the planet, 25 hashers converged on Medellin for the symbolic event for charity, the Red Dress Run. The directions told us to be at the start at 1300, so abruptly at 1430 we circled up for chalk talk. Trail was designed in three phases, the first was prelayed, and the hare followed in trace to the first beer check. And good thing, because there were so damn many people on the streets, it was often difficult to find the marks . . . but we managed. After a 30 to 40 minute painful recess, the hare called the pack back together, and headed out to live hare the second phase . . . in the rain, and by the time 3 minutes had passed, whatever he marked, was . . . as you would expect . . . GONE. A few phone calls and convulsive phone con directions, the walkers ended up in one place, the runners ended up in another, and Mu-sick and I followed the last instructions and ran back to the hotel. 2 hours later, the pack eventually reassembled and had a circle under cover. A few empanadas and several beers later, the chiva (party bus) arrived, and we spent 4 hours driving around Medellin, dancing and drinking, and having a blast in the rain. What a day, bravo to the Medellin H3 for hosting such a crazy event.Read more
