You know it’s going to be a good run when you turn up and everyone’s downing birthday beers. Cheer’s Ballbag.

The run started with an obligatory sojourn through a stormwater drain which turned out to be an on-back. We then bush bashed our way up to the fire trail to the first check leading to the notorious Three Hills track. Upon arriving at the summit (151 vertical metres) we were then faced with a death-defying descent down track 13 which as it turned out was good luck as we came across Ballbag at the bottom. How the f&ck he ended up on the runners trail we’ll never know….. At the next check we came across another very confused walker (Eno) who despite being only 10 metres from the fire trail was looking very lost…..It all ended very well with what I believe was the first (in 138 attempts) runners/walkers combined piss stop. A historic run/walk celebrated with meat free sausages and Tim Tams.

Crikey, what a night. Steve would have been so proud. The hare (Y2KY Jelly) set what we thought was an excellent run only to discover in the circle (I know, who would have thought) 15 other runners who we never saw on our trail but were claiming they also followed “trail” all over The Spit. After many charges and down downs, we realised what had gone wrong. Turns out the hare’s clear instructions of follow the chalk, toilet paper and chad missed on important point. No one f$ckin knows what chad is!!! ‘

Anyway, Jelly he did a marvellous job with getting loads of people lost on The Spit!!!, great circle and bush tucker (yep, vegetarian delight). 7 out of 10 was awarded followed by a moving rendition of “Shitty Run”.

# 136 Bloody Full Moon Run
2022-11-08 17:45 | Korman Family Park, 183 Stanhill Drive, Chevron Island, QLD, 4217, Australia
What a Bloody Great Night. A technical 4km trail with plenty of on-backs and a bit of rat c#nting. First use of environmentally friendly leaves for trail marking received mixed reviews but overall, a 10/10 effort from the hare (Kylie) followed by an even better on-after at a late contender for Pub of the Year, the Chevron Tavern.

This week’s run, officially celebrating the ancient public holiday of Halloween or All Hallows Eve where the dead rise up, it couldn’t have been more apt for the COVID RH3 to attend “The Walking Dead” otherwise known as GCH3. But where the fuck was everyone?

Botcho (Covid RH3) set the run straight through the cemetery, marking off checks in the vain hope that COVID would turn up in force. The run pretty much all bush snaked in and out through the patches of jungle, along, over and in creeks just as a real COVID run should but without and other COVID Hashers! The ON Home was along the streets, terminating in the middle of the cemetery with a substantial drink stop fully stocked with Peroni’s that got some of the way to 8 more! A great run, just ask Cum Smoke! The rest of the evening was ok for chat, a promptu performance by Brad – Monthly (son of Weekly) was spectacular until he started too high in one of the chorus’s of Nissan Darhma and had to retrieve his testicle.

The Circle was dire, with no icings or fireworks the night was only ¾ good.

Poor show you blokes for not turning up

# 134 Oktoberfest
2022-10-25 18:30 | Benowa Tavern, 117 Ashmore Road, Benowa, Australia
What a run. First use of environmentally friendly black chalk, first furniture removal at a piss stop and the first jamming session of the newly created Covid Hash band with Jelly on the drums and Kylie on the keys. Rock on fellas.

The trail itself was so well marked with environmentally friendly black chalk it unfortunately “blended” into the bitumen background but somehow we navigated the dense bush lands of Benowa and Bundall.

The on-after had plenty of atmosphere, friendly staff and most importantly loads of Moose Knuckle. It was so good it was decided we will never go there again as we thought this would be spoiling ourselves way too much. All this despite Smokies 50% off everything card which was produced way to late for the GM’s liking.

Well, it finally happened. After 133 attempts the perfect run time was finally achieved. Congratulations to Pepe, the weeks of trail recon really paid off with a run lasting 60min 00sec. Not only did he achieve the perfect run time but there was plenty of parking, loads of sausages (it was Sausagefest after all) and tits on the run to boot. A score of 10 was awarded by the run committee. Well done, Pepe.

Covid Run # 132 Get your DragOn Awards Night
2022-10-11 18:30 | Chameleon Lounge Bar, Shop 1 / 97 Surf Parade Broadbeach
Great to see so many of you ewes cumming out last night. An excellent run/walk set by our latest named runner, E-no, was followed by the quiz that we absolutely smashed. I personally think cumming 13th was a great result and something we should be really proud of. The awards were also well received by our deserving winners:
Big Kahuna Award – Arsenic
Invisible Man Award – awarded in absentia to Cum Smoke
Endurance Award – Y2KY Jelly

Smokie in full drag

Looks even better from behind

What a F@ck up of a run. 371 vertical metres of pure torture. Injuries galore, much blood spilt. The hare clearly forgot to consult the “Ballbag guide to setting a good trail”. Despite the ample parking and homemade Pepperoni Pizza a score of -5 was awarded due to time penalties.

Run 128 # QEII Memorial
2022-09-13 18:30 | Tom Rose Park, 69 Wandin Street, Nerang, Queensland, 4211, Australia
Great run / walk (around the rotunda) last night. An on-time start was followed by a right royal effort through the swamplands of Coombabah which didn’t disappoint. A well-deserved score of 5 / 10 was awarded at an emotional QE2 memorial circle. The banquet that followed was based on the last meal Liz Buckingham (ex GM – Windsor HHH) had. I’m not saying the Sausage with English Muffins, Yorkshire Pudding, Gravy, Colemans Hot Mustard, and Marmite killed her, but it probably didn’t help.

Great run last night under clear skies. Good to see Ballbags discharged himself from hospital just in time for the run start. A really-well laid trail, especially through the undercover carpark, with a clear winner of piss-stop of the year (I’ve gone early).

The pint of Guinness rule was applied to the run scoring resulting in a perfect 10 being awarded. Special mention to the French nosh the hare rustled up on the BBQ. The Coq au Vin was to die for and despite my initial reservations the toilet block eating location had a certain je ne sais quoi about it.

Run #125 Return of the Dragon

https://covidhhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/591894614051_garmin-health_1661310681825.mp4
Great run last run. A really-well laid trail which was super easy to follow. No complaints from either the runners or walkers. Despite ample parking a low score of 0.5 was awarded.
Brett was also named during the circle which was nothing short of a debacle with the naming committee once again letting themselves and the hash down.

No doubt we will go through it all again at next week’s run /walk starting from Eileen Peters Park, 5 The Esplanade, Surfers Paradise.

Well marked trail

Naming……..Brett

We were going to fast

Run #124 City to Surf (Club?)

https://covidhhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/022318854941_garmin-health_1660647622134.mp4
The City to Surf (Club?) lived up to its billing last night. Under fine sky’s we followed a well-marked trail with plenty of checks & on backs resulting in a + 2 hour run (see relive). Surprising amount of virgin bush with a great piss stop. Special mention for the array of nosh the hare managed to rustle up on the BBQ (pumpkin soup, tacos, steak sandwiches and hamburgers). Despite loads of effort (he even printed menus) and plenty of parking a surprisingly low score of -6 was awarded.

Run #123 "Let's Get Physical" Oliver Newton-John Memorial

Great run last night. Despite the hare’s efforts to kill us we all managed to survive the heart attack inducing 157-metre vertical ascent followed by an ankle breaking descent through closed off trails filled with killer kangaroos. For those brave enough to relive it check out the attached video.

Very impressed to see so many of ewes donning flouro spandex as a mark of respect to the late great Oliver Newton-John with stories of first sexual experiences flourishing during an emotional circle. We were so upset we forgot to score the run but luckily I carry a “Ballbag Guide to trail setting” wherever I go so can confirm a 9.5 was achieved with a special mention for the gourmet hot dog nosh.

Covid Run # 122 - F$ck off Derro
2022-08-02 18:30 | Korman Family Park, 183 Stanhill Drive, Chevron Island, QLD, 4217, Australia
Run #122 lived up to its name last night.

1 hill
2 km trail
2 slabs of beer

A marvelous effort by our wounded hare who despite life threatening injuries still managed to lay some chalk. Unfortunately, as it turned out, not enough chalk for our self proclaimed “greatest front runnner of hash” who scored the run a minus 2. This lead to what can only be described as a record number of charges with many historical crimes brought to light.
Well done to the hare (Kylie) for a great run location on after location and the birthday slab. Derro for the top nosh and the “I’m f*cking off” slab of beers.

Covid Run #120
2022-07-19 18:30 | Southport Surf Life Saving Club, MacArthur Parade, Main beach, Queensland, 4217, Australia
Great run last night. A very technical course. In fact It was so technical not only did the hare (Y2KY Jelly) get lost during the run but so did our favourite front running bastard, Pepe Le Spew, at the end of the run. We would have gone out searching for him but we were too busy adhering to local council by-laws (see photo).

A nice long run (7.71km / 67min) which was enjoyed by all but unfortunately because the run went for over an hour and we missed an obvious piss stop (Southport Surf Club) it was decided not to score the run. Y2KY Jelly got his revenge by covertly attempting to turn us vegetarian (mushrooms hamburgers)

Great f*#king run & nosh last night. Early contender for ROTY and the “Karen Pini”. A virgin trail with plenty of bush bashing including a 30 metre vertical drop and a new Covid Hash record of 17 on-backs.

Our attempts to burn down the forest were unsuccessful but with plenty of charges from the run (and before the run for one hasher) and some questionable port a good night was had until security (who knew) turned up and the circle was closed. Luckily we had time to pull the hare’s van out of the bog just before the Fire Service turned up ensuring we maintained our mantra of “no man left behind”.
