More powerful than the Mud runs, Warrior Runs and Swamp devil runs.  Tired of the same old neighborhood roads, traffic, bad drivers? Join the off-road runners for a great and unusual training run.  Run in the woods and trails. Hashing is not a race but a non-competitive group run which follows an off-road course laid out with baking flour. If you like trail running without the competition of a formal race, this will be a fun switch for you. This is a complex course through woods, grass, swamp and marsh.  Wear old running shoes                        

   Free skull items for Pre-registered. For those registered, an email will be sent with secret start location and secret post run party.

        Volunteer receive free beer and goodies. Post Run Party held at secret location to be emailed to pre-registered. A fun time is guaranteed! You must be over 21 years old to participate.  No times are recorded.  A sense a humor is a must. Prizes & giveaways at the post race social. You don’t even need to run to participate. 

  If you are unable to run you can volunteer. Volunteers receive free beer,  pirate backpack and skull bandanna. If you wish to volunteer email Kenvnjlaw@yahoo.com

Sponsored by the Rumson Hash House Harriers, founders of the Cheesequake Hashathon.
