HHHASHTORY

There are several hashes in the Edmonton Area:

• The Edmonton HHH was founded by John "Splash N Dash" Cosco and Mike "Love Canal" Rust (both former Vancouver HHH).

• The first run was held on September 9, 1991 and started from the Kinsmen Field House. The On-On was held at the Jekyll & Hyde Pub. The first run had 9 hounds and 2 hares. Over 2000 Edmontonians have run at least once with the EH3, and we currently have over 200 active hashers. The average pack is 80.

• The EH3 runs Monday evenings at 18:30 during the summer and Saturday afternoons at 14:00 during the winter. The current run fee is $4 and visitors run free for their first run with the EH3. Included in the run fee is swill and the world's finest "Hash Trash" painstakingly produced and published by Idiot Savant.

• The Old Strathcona HHH was founded by John "Splash N Dash" Cosco (former Vancouver HHH) and Mike "Tool-In-Hand" Gordon.

• Otherwise known as the "No Frills Hash" or the "Sunday Hash", the OSH3 runs Sunday afternoons at 2 pm, year round. There is no run fee.

• The first run was held on September 11, 1994 and started from the Muttart Conservatory. The On-On was held at the Jekyll & Hyde Pub. The first run had 32 hounds and 2 hares. The average pack is 15. The OSH3 celebrated its 100th run in April 1997.

• The Edmonton Full Moon HHH was founded in September of 1993 and runs once a month on (or near) the full moon. It is "A running social club which glows with fun and excitement when the Full Moon shines and on other special occasions." A dinner is usually planned afterwards.

• The Edmonton Full Moon HHH is under the watchful di-erection of Finger Food.  If you're interested in haring or attending a fullmoon run, you can email Mr. PeeeeeNut who will put you in contact with Finger Food.

• This hash runs every Tuesday during the summer months. A mountain bike is suggested, but the hares usually plan a secondary route for those less crazy bashers. Bring a Helmet!!!! Phone the Hash Hotline for more details.

• The Intredible Walking Hash was founded by Wendy "Trot-to-Hot" Williamson for the SCB's, BOP's, Cherryites, Socialites, Sheep, Stragglers, Turtles and Injured Runners of the EHHH.

• The IWH held its inaugural walk (yes, WALK) on Thursday, March 14, 1996 at Emily Murphy Park. After a brisk 60 minute walk, 23 hashers strutted off to the On-On. This is a walking hash. No running, only striding, stepping, hiking, marching, pacing, trekking, strutting, rambling, roving, meandering, promenading, wandering, tredding, shuffling, strolling, straggling, plodding, or tramping.

• Also a "No Frills Hash", the IWH runs every Thursday at 6:30pm year round. There is a $2 fee. For more info contact the Hash Hotline (780) 444-3434.

• The EFNHHH held its inaugural run at 2:00am (yes, am) on January 1, 1996 at the Crestwood Curling Club. Approx 50 hashers attended the party and then 28 managed to stagger out for the early morning run.
  
• There were 10 more EFN hashes, changing venues from Rosario's, back to Crestwood and then finally to Whitemud Creek Community Hall - considered to be the best venue since Bird Sh-t and Numb Tongue's place was within staggering distance.
  
• The EFN hash held it's last run in 2006.  Lickin Lizard, Bird Shit, Numb Tongue and Mr. PeeeeNut were seeing less and less interest in a Hash NYE party.
