Run #1480: 4th July (almost) run

Commemorating American Independence Day, the 4th July (almost) run is on Saturday 2 July. Hares are listed as Freedom Fries, Vomiteer & Bashful Bladder.

YH3USA01There will be Hash tank tops (if they get printed in time) and other surprises along the way. The On On is immediately following the Hash, and in the same location as the circle.

There will be NO commemoration of what some folks have declared “British Independence Day”. There may be some celebrations/commiserations for the illegitimate Australians who get to vote on Saturday – will they get their 6th Prime Minister in 6 years?

Join us for “Idiotspendence Day” to celebrate with the Americans, claim a tank top and drink beer.

Meet at the usual place and time:

  • 2.30pm, Saturday 2 July
  • @ the carpark opposite the University of Yangon gates on University Avenue Road (between Pyay & Inya Rds)

There’s also a post from the Hares (Adeana, Billy & Robert) if you’re a member of YH3 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/YangonHHH.

The Yangon Hash House Harriers (YH3) meets every Saturday afternoon for a fun run and a few beers. The runs are non-competitive and are planned in such a way that everyone finishes within a few minutes of each other, irrespective of sporting ability. Indeed a goodly percentage of those taking part make no attempt at running whatsoever but enjoy a good walk. The runs can take place anywhere in and around the environs of Yangon and, more often than not, take place “off road” so you should be prepared to encounter mud, water, livestock and perhaps the odd leech! It is a truism that you will see and go to places on the Hash that you would not normally even know existed and it can be a good way to see an alternative view of life in the ex-capital. The runners, who currently age between a few months and the mid-eighties, have diverse backgrounds and ethnicity but the common thread is the social aspect of the run. Immediately after each Hash, refreshment is served in the shape of a few beers and any notable misdemeanours are publicly celebrated. Later in the evening, the members will meet up for a dinner and socialising can often go on to the wee hours if you are that way inclined.
