Receding Hareline

If you would like to assist on a future run, please email our Hare Raiser saigonrazor@gmail.com

We're always looking for volunteers to help set runs. If you've never set a run before, fear not! We will help you with suggestions for good Hashing country, our very own Hare manual with guidelines for setting a run and, if needed, an experienced Hare to assist you. For virgin Hares, there will be a really sexy red Hare Shirt.

Hares, please let the Hare Raisers and the Hash Geek have the following information as early as possible before the run:

• location/start of the run (to make it easier for the bus people)
• Hares' contact number(s)
• a run title is a good idea too. Otherwise, you get a randomly generated one

Hash Info...

We meet every Sunday at the Caravelle Hotel in District 1, HCMC. The bus leaves promptly at 2:00 pm on most days. It's best to arrive at around 1:30 with the bus returning usually around 7 to 8 pm. Bring extra clothes, a great sense of humor and a thirst for some beer wouldn't hurt. Do not forget to bring some money for the hash fees (VND200,000 for expats, VND150,000 for locals, 50,000 for ankle-biters.)

On On and we hope to see you on Sunday.

The Monk Rules Run: Remember The 3 Fs

5th of February: The Rule of Monks Run: Remember the 3 Fs
This is not a run to miss. There will be 6 monasteries. That is a 100% improvement of the past 3 Monastery Run. The run will be a doozy measuring in at close to 14km for the Hashers who can handle it. But there won't be much of a vertical challenge so it won't be hard...so Jackoff will need to keep himself in check. The walk will be a normal distance but abnormally beautiful.

So Come One, Come All and Get Yourself a Bit of Enlightenment!

Hosted by: Pissmeister, C4 and Mighty Quinn

Annual General Piss Up Sat 4 Feb Bernies Bar 7pm

RUN 1116 Paddy Field Run “the next best thing to getting back to nature” Hares: Thong Muncher, Lickmybeen, Fuckoffee As usual the tragic bus left Carravelle hotel on time at 2 PM heading not towards Dong Nai as usual but towards the Tunnells of Chu Chi. After a long ride the bus stopped and the walkers were ordered to get off the bus and start walking with the chosen one Lickmybean out in front. The bus then pushed on with the sorry looking runners kilometres up the road and eventually stopped at a sodden paddyfield. After the walkers and runners reappeared at the at the bus much social eating and drinking was enacted by all concerned. This circle was finally called by her royal highness Headmistress and the hares were called in to the middle for the obligatory run report and walk report. RUN REPORT by Pissmeister Flat, no paper, dyke bashing, no highlights all lowlights Score 6.2 4/10 WALK REPORT by Juicy Chew Crap walk score 8/10 Rather hard to follow the thought process RELIGIOUS ADVISOR – Appendadicktome Virgins called in the middle 2 male & 1 female - 1 Aussie 1 Yank and 1 Vietnamese Returnees Swindler from gourmet hash Gold Coast Australia Pissmeister And Karaoke Kid C4 was placed on the ice for atrocious singing Headmistress charged for various atrocities but as unable to charge the headmistress Down under where was charged in her place and a very luckily not iced Lostoursole was also placed on the ice for failing to deliver last week's run report. Some lame excuse about a late-night helicopter ride. Onehunghigh also charged for leading walkers in completely incorrect direction. Thongmuncher also charged for insolence and gross disobedience. Circle ended well into the dark with social drinking and singing on the bus on the way back to the Caravell. On on held at Indian restaurant off Dong Koi Street attended by 10 burned-out die hard hashes finishing approximately 10.30 when Indian owner wanted to go to bed.

New to Hashing?

If you've never hashed before, you'll find the Saigon Hash a great way to exercise, meet people and get out of the city. Each week, we offer a run or a power-walk in different locations in the countryside around Ho Chi Minh City. No booking is necessary. Just roll up on Sunday afternoon and hop on the bus.

You don't need to bring much. For runners, running gear is all you need. Walkers need, above all, comfortable walking shoes (High heels are NOT recommended). On hot days, you may wish to wear a hat and use sunscreen. In addition, you'll need your run fee (VND180,000 for expats, VND100,000 for locals, 10,000 for ankle-biters) and optionally a change of clothes. For more information e-mail us at the address above.
