Pan SongkRUN Hash 2026

I have not hashed in this corner of Thailand before, so it was an interesting weekend getaway to join the Malaysian hashers for this annual event. We started with the Friday night welcome party, which included a short 4 km walk around the venue, followed by water sports and drinking games.

Saturday, we were informed to get up and get on the busses by 0830, for a 0900 departure. The busses finally showed up at 1045, so after a short ride to the other side of town for a B to A run, we were in the middle of the day, and it was HOT!!!!!! Long trail was nearly 10 kms, and with the exception of the first 3.5 kms, it was all on pavement, and most of that on a major highway. It was a relief to finish and take on that first (second, third, fourth, and probably fifth beer) afterwards to rehydrate.

Saturday night was a grand ballroom dinner, with dancers and other entertainment.
Overall, the venue was amazing, rego and the goodie bags were very well done, the food was great, the entertainment and games were fun . . . but the trail brought down the event from a 10 down to about a 7. There was plenty of shiggy along the way that could have been explored, but trail just stayed on the pavement . . . HOT and exhausting. I know a lot of coordination and effort goes into organizing events like this, so cannot be too hard on them. Well done (but scout a better trail next time). 🙂

Sunday is scheduled for a hangover run, but may skip that and just head back to the airport. It has been a long hot tiring weekend, with lots of partying.

The next three weeks are going to be major hash action. Istanbul, then Jakarta, and wrapping it up with INTERHASH 2026.Read more
