COVID ReHash House Harriers

# 134 Oktoberfest
2022-10-25 18:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | 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.

2022-10-31 17:45 | Ned Twohill Equestrian Park, Twohill Lane (off Queen Street), Southport, New Twohill Equestrian Park, Southport, QLD, 4215, Australia
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

# 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.

# 137 Steve Irwin Run
2022-11-16 18:15 | BBQ’s behind Main Beach Pavilion, Main Beach Pavilion, MacArthur Parade, Main Beach QLD 4217, Gold Coast, QLD, 4217, Australia
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”.

# 139 Ballbreaker Run
2022-11-29 18:15 | Rotoract Park, Nerang, 2 Balyando Drive, Nerang, Queensland, 4211, Australia
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.

#143 Better late than never Covid Christmas run
2023-01-17 18:30 | Rotoract Park, 2 Balyandro Drive, Nerang, QLD, 4211, Australia
https://covidhhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Run143.mp4What a run. In fact, it was so good it was universally acknowledged as run of the year ………. to date, with a 7.5 awarded. It was so good Pepe celebrated with yet another shoey. The GM would have joined him Baaah for his shoes exploding mid-run. The usual spiteful and vindictive charges were laid, primarily at Jelly’s newly acquired goatee (BTW congratulations on your upcoming role in the remake of Debbie does Dallas), followed by a Christmas feast of Turducken Burgers that were so good even a vegan couldn’t resist them. Despite Arsenic’s embarrassing attempt to steal victory Jelly took home an incredibly rare Ewe Beaut in the raffle.

#144 恭喜發財 Run
2023-01-24 18:30 | Budds Beach, 33 River Drive, Budds Beach, Australia
Well, it would have been run / shuffle of the year baaaah the RA going a bit over the top with the rain. Concerns about king tides and our cars being swept away into the Nerang River meant there was only one thing to do………….head to Derro’s. As tradition dedicates Ballbag got lost ……….parking his car. With no run to prove our athletic abilities we were forced to show were our real talents lie. During a lively circle Ballbag shared a video from his days with the Darwin HHH which explains how he got named and unsurprisingly Cum Smoke was award 2022 Athlete of the Year (see photo).
A big thanks to Derro for the last-minute hosting of the on after and the delicious Chinese banquet. Despite breaking every rule of the Pool / BBQ area apparently the resort management will welcome us back anytime….

Run #148: Mardis Gras Bush Run
2023-02-21 18:30 | Tom Rose Park (HQ), 69 Wandin Street, Nerang, QLD, 4211, Australia
https://covidhhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Covid-148.mp4
What a great night of hash. For the first time in ages someone got lost and was awarded Covidiot of the week. Most surprisingly the hasher in question was not Ballbag…. Turned out Eno was enjoying the trail so much he decided to do 2 laps of the course despite being only 20 metres from home first time round (Relive Eno’s run below).
With Eno clearly shaken we did what any good kennel would do and charged him with multiple offences dispensed from a dog bowl…. It really was Eno’s night with the RA (aka Jelly) then numbering him (XIV) followed by winning the much sought after raffle.

The run score was surprisingly low at -5,003 but with a 5,000 point bonus awarded to the hare for retrieving a lost runner a respectable -3 was confirmed. The walkers awarded a 7.5 for their trail despite not following one inch of the flour laid for them (God only knows where they went). All in all, a great Mardi Gras run hosted by the committee……just don’t mention the onions.

Run #149: Double Banger Run
2023-02-28 18:30 | Tom Rose Park (HQ), 69 Wandin Street, Nerang, QLD, 4211, Australia
https://covidhhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Covid-149.mp4
He promised it and he bloody well delivered it.
A very late contender for Run of the Year and the Karen Pini by Arsenic. A run that had a bit of everything including a complete disregard for anyone’s safety as evidenced by the amount of claret spilt as we literally crawled our way through the bush. A run that took in every corner of the forest and parts of the bush we have never seen before, and that Eno hopes we never see again. He broke us and right when all hope was lost, we popped out onto the fire trail home.
A marvellous 9.5 was scored despite all the flour being washed away by an isolated shower and freak tornado prior to the run start on what was an otherwise a still and barmy evening. Relive the run here https://www.relive.cc/view/vNOP42M7J2O
In the circle the usual banter and airing of grievousness was wrapped up with a moving ceremony to award Derrolicked My Balls with his 100 run t-shirt.

Run #150: Red Dress Run
2023-03-08 18:30 | Boat Ramp, 2 TE Peters Drive, Broadbeach Waters, Queensland, 4218, Australia
Be there early to witness the costumes and haute couture, have a few sneaky cold ones to drum up a bit of Dutch courage for your debut in the public arena.
Come dressed in a red dress (available at any op shop, your favourite outfitters – ), or anything Red if you’re shy.
The Run, Circle and a hefty donation to the Gold Coast Centre Against Sexual Violence will cost you $15, there are other raffles and opportunities to make a further donation.
Bring cash, a down-down vessel, eating equipment and a chair if you want to sit (down to pee). There are Beers for sale but bring extras just in case.
This will be a really big night and a lot of fun. It’s a really worthy cause that will appreciate our support. Let me know if you’re coming!

Run #151: Jungle Run
2023-03-13 18:00 | Frascott Park, 44 Frascot Avenue, Varsity Lakes, Queensland, 4227, Australia
It was a good night out with the Gourmet.

The Covid boys did us proud. Front running, eating their fair share and drinking like the pub was about to close.

The highlight however was that Jelly and Derro decided to put their arses to proper use and smashed the previous record for sitting on ice.

CovidHHH: #153 St Patrick's Day Run
2023-03-21 18:30 | Eileen Peters Park, Esplanade, Surfers Paradise QLD, 5 The Espalanade, Surfers Paradise, Queensland, 4217, Australia
To be sure, to be sure the reign of Y2KY Jelly got off to a predictable start with an icing of all-round drinking machine and beloved ex-GM Baaaah Sinster for no apparent reason whatsoever. Proceedings normalised with a far more warranted icing of Pepe Le Spew for choosing to spend his birthday with his family rather than his hash brothers at the AGPU.
The run itself was impacted by the weather with all chalk washed away before the start. This inconvenience didn’t stop Pepe leading the charge over to that little slice of Italy on the coast, Isle of Capri, however in the process he and his gang of front running bastards managed to lose Eno (f&ck all), Derrolicked my Balls and Baaaah Sinister. With D&B seeking black beverages in Surfers somehow Eno (f&ck all) managed to navigate his way back to the start all on his own only to find Cum Smoke had already completed the walkers root in record time.
The FRB’s finally turned up after a marathon effort that took in all parts of the coast. After denying claims he had been appointed 2023 GM, Jelly finally came around after yet another GM nomination presentation (see attached) in the toilets. His appointment was toasted with yet more vodka infused green jelly which by all accounts had matured with age.
The usual vindictive and spiteful charges followed but not before the new GM shared his raison d’être which resulted in Cum Smoke assuming the fetal position screaming “not again”. Anyways, it sounds like more moustaches, mushrooms (magic I assume) and bushy runs will be the order of the day going forward. We didn’t get around to a run / walkers score but based on last year’s winner (see attached awards) I reckon it’s in with a bloody good chance of ROTY.

Run #155: Torture Trail
2023-04-04 18:30 | Tom Rose Park (HQ), 69 Wandin Street, Nerang, QLD, 4211, Australia
What a run……..or more accurately what a bush bashing, crawl and bum slide. A real epic with plenty of claret spilt over the 8km of pure unadulterated torture which took 5hr 26min to complete.
Once again, the failings of the run scoring mechanism were there for everyone to see with a 68 recorded as it was agreed the hare (our beloved GM, Y2KY Jelly) may have f#cked us this time, but we all owe him one.
As you can imagine the hare was immediately iced for his crimes with the usual vindictive and spiteful charges following. The evening closed with the hares second attempt on our lives via a Vegetarian Caribbean Stew. All jokes aside a huge effort by Y2KY Jelly which will never be forgotten (wish we could) by those who were there.
Next Tuesday, with a bit of luck, Arsenic will be setting the Easter Beer Hunt run back in the forest.

Run #157: KK's Birthday Run
2023-04-18 18:30 | Tom Rose Park (HQ), 69 Wandin Street, Nerang, QLD, 4211, Australia
Great run last night. Despite a very isolated tornado over Nerang Forest blowing away all the trail prior to the run (these freak weather events always seem to happen when Arsenic is the hare…) we somehow managed to navigate our way around the dense bush. Despite the lack of trail at no time did we get lost or scared, but the sense of relief when we stumbled across the Gnome Inn at the Tree of Tranquillity was palpable (no wonder those Gnomes are subjected to such abuse…). Luckily, we guessed right at the tree (which was actually a left) and made our way down Happy Valley at pace on home. Relive it all here:
https://covidhhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Covid-157.mp4
Back at HQ with the mercury dropping below a chilly 20C and early stages hypothermia setting in Arsenic showed off his survival skills by rubbing two sticks together to make fire so we could form the circle. Jelly and Derrolicked My Balls (recovering pyromaniacs) got a bit over excited adding as much fuel to the fire as they could find, but the bonfire soon calmed down, and the resulting bush fire put out. The usual spiteful and vindicative charges were laid during the circle but not before a particularly harsh score of 28 / 100 was awarded. KK sent her apologises for not being able to attend in person but shared a home video of her latest butt bleaching attempt along with a delightful see -through yellow number that the hare wore with pride.

Run #158: Anzac Day
2023-04-25 14:00 | Broadbeach Bowls Club, 169 Surf Parade, Broadbeach, QLD, 4218, Australia
Lest we forget the courage, mateship, and sacrifice of those who have gone before us so we pay our respects to those who have fallen starting with Gunfire followed by a 6km Kokoda trail where we will navigate our way through various watering hole hazards, a two-up circle, kebab shop and all finishing up with a Gallipoli beach landing re-enactment.
It all kicks off 2pm from the Broadbeach Bowling Club, 169 Surf Parade.

We like nothing like a good run piss up so we will be joining our hash brothers celebrate their big day. With a bit of luck our GM and Sergeant will get iced again but can’t promise anything….

Run #160: Coronation Run
2023-05-09 18:30 | Bill Pippen Oval, 2 Priddeys Road, Robina, QLD, 4226, Australia
What a run. King Chuck would have been so proud of what was a right royal effort baaaaaah for that bitch Me-Gain f#cking it up for everyone as usual. Despite the lack of any trail markings somehow the hare (Eno) managed to keep most of the pack together despite Derrolicked My Balls trespassing efforts. A surprisingly low score of 2 / 100 was recorded despite the novelty of the shopping mall on home “trail” which really should have been better rewarded.
During the circle, the usual spiteful and vindictive charges were laid including false accusations of “new shoes” being directed at all round top hash man Baaaaah Sinister. Despite his protests he eventually took his medicine which turns out to be anything but. The evening was rounded off with a five-course taco banquet and frozen margaritas fit for a king. BTW got a call from the restaurant, apparently they seem to be missing some glassware…..

Run #161: Cinco de Mayo
2023-05-16 18:30 | Tom Rose Park (HQ), 69 Wandin Street, Nerang, QLD, 4211, Australia
Well, it only took 161 runs to work it out but finally a hare (Derrolicked my Balls) managed to lay a waterproof trail which defeated the 130mm of rain. Literally a well-crafted trail with paper mache markings and checks taking us to all corners of the forest with the best-ever quality piss-stop (Fireball shots). Thanks to the weather we were also able to incorporate a couple of creek swims to the delight of Arsenic who brought along his snorkelling gear, but his spirits were soon dampened upon the discovery of leeches on his face upon arrival back at the circle (see photo).
Despite not running the RA (Eno) turned up to gloat about the magnificent weather he had put on. He was in such a hurry to cum he forgot the run scoring mechanism and with our fearless leader still in Darwin grabbing grannies we were forced to improvise resulting in a run score of 10 out of 12. The evening was rounded off with not only sausages and white bread but ONIONS!!! to boot and the circle closed with the resolution that B#llpoint (I didn’t name him) was in fact still a c&nt.

Run #162: Return of the Big Dog
2023-05-23 18:30 - 20:30 | Brookfield Court Reserve, 31 Brookfield Court, Nerang, Queensland, 4211, Australia
What a run. As advertised it had a bit of everything for everyone including a tunnel start (Eno, there was no need to take a shit in it), a log doom trilogy, a six-way check, bush bashing and a lemon tree inspired piss stop (lemon drop shots). With the Big Dog returning we did our best to injure him but unfortunately the Bridge to Nowhere survived his attempts to cross it. As tradition dicktates Ballbag got lost.

In the circle a run score of 78 was recorded followed by the usual spiteful and vindicative charges many of which were directed at the GM for temporarily abandoning the hash and for somehow managing to f&ck up our well thought out 2025 Nash Hash bid. To ensure our next bid is successful we all agreed to attend the 2025 Freo Nash Hash on the proviso that virgin, or at least shaved, bush was also in attendance.

Run #163: One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (GCMH3)
2023-05-29 18:00 | Gilston (Miscarriage’s), 139 Evanita Drive, Gilston, QLD, 4211, Australia
Direct from the looney bin our favourite butcher, cum property developer, cum part time lawyer set a trail for the ages………correction, set a trail that took ages. When I say “set a trail” it’s more accurate to say we were handed four envelopes which contained stages of a map which had unfortunately been defaced by what I assumed was a small child with learning difficulties. Theoretically we were required to join the maps together upon the completion of each stage to form the “postman’s run”. Unfortunately, the map “markings” bore no resemblance to any of the bush trails or paths in the local area but no bother somehow, we all made it on home five hours later.
In the circle a generous 1.45 out of 10 was awarded for the run with the hare immediately iced for his efforts. To mark reconciliation week an emotional smoking ceremony was held followed by the usual spiteful and vindictive charges but not before the RA attempted to burn down the new Covid Re-Hash clubhouse by kicking the flaming beer keg fire brazier down the side of the house.
Well done to Miscarriage for hosting an entertaining and enlightening evening and for introducing a new concept to hash.
