The hash is a drinking club with a running problem, so feel free to drink and run. However, we do not support drinking and driving so have a designated driver, call a cab or plan ahead to get home safely if you have been drinking - there are more fun ways to get to play with handcuffs. We hash EVERY Thursday night at 7, rain or shine, CST or CDT. So bring a dollar and a six-pack of beer, and join us for the fun!
Make sure to also bring a whistle, a flashlight (it helps), and a sense of humor. For slightly more info, read about the VooDoo.
Surprise! I (Kitchen) am moving! On Sunday! To Atlanta! Social distancing has made it hard to get together, but I’d love to say goodbye and show ya how much I’ll love and miss ya by haring one more trail. So come drink a PBR with us and run (or walk) a solid trail laid by your hares.
Bring: 6-pack in your own personal ice chest, whistle, flashlight, mask for Circle
This week we’re exploring the streets and street art of Central City and the CBD. Central City and the CBD are both essential cultural icons of New Orleans. O.C. Haley Blvd, in the late 19th and 20th centuries, was a center of rapid commercial and cultural growth, and during the 1960s, Central City jump-started the Civil Rights Movement in New Orleans. In recent years, the CBD and Central City have seen a resurgence, memorialized and encapsulated through mural/street art. This trail will take you on a drunken, free-wheeling tour of some of New Orleans’ most iconic public art, so make sure you brush up on your local lore. (If you don’t feel comfortable coming to trail, Mr. hEd plans to post the google map, along with notes for each art stop, so you can do a self-guided tour if you so wish!)
Bring: $0 (trail is free until we can safely share ice, so bring your own cooler or thirst for warm beer); 6-pack (glass discouraged), whistle, flashlight/headlamp (no seriously bring a light, we cannot stress this enough)

Trail is A to A.
We’re so proud of you, Voodoo. Through 13 weeks of lock-down you have kept the spirit alive. You drew pictures with your solo trails. You hunted GPS coordinates. You ran miles in your houses. You joined Zoom circles from around the world. You became an example to other kennels grappling with how to hash safely in a pandemic. You did not miss a single Thursday.
This week we’re finally back to hashing in person. We are not out of the woods yet and so we will keep doing what we need to do to keep each other safe. We can use personal coolers and wear masks and stand a little bit farther apart in Circle because it means that we can be back together again, solving trail, drinking beer, singing songs, and making fun of each other.
As you navigate the new normal, you’ll want to be ready for when shit eventually goes haywire. This GeoHash trail is designed to do just that! You’ll 100% need some way to locate yourself via GPS for this trail. These times will be difficult, and you won’t finish trail without it. Besides, how else are you going to locate your survival supplies along the way? It’s imperative that you have GPS, so we can keep the loot hidden from anyone looking to raid it. Be on the lookout for the 1st GPS clue tomorrow morning. This will set you on your path. Take a deep breath, be strong, and maybe you, too, can persevere these trying times!
