Reykjavik H3 - Runner Trail

A hearty gang of 11 hashers flew into Iceland for yet another awesome event. Organized by Quick Drawers from the Mount Vernon H3 in Virginia, I offered to set the runner’s trail (8kms) while he and his son set the walker’s trail (4kms). We set trail at 10 am, and it was brisk out. About 10 C (50 F) with a 25-30 knot wind blowing pretty much the whole time.
Fortunately, by run time (1400), the temps had risen and the wind calmed down a bit, so it was a pleasant afternoon. We started at the famous Hallgrimskirkja Cathedral near city center, with the runners’ trail going to the south and wound its way around to meet the walker’s going at about the 5 km point. The Walker’s trail made a smaller loop and hooked up with the runners at about 1 km in. A very scenic trail, taking in many of the city highlights, and finish along the waterfront and into a pizza shop . . . that served cold beer as well.

Fun circle, lots to drink, and good pizza to boot. Another great hashing event . . . next time we’re planning for Bermuda.Read more
