Guide for New Feet
If you have half a mind to join the Hash, that's all it takes. If you have hashed before you will know the format but for the newcomers here's a quick rundown on what happens.

On alternate Sunday afternoons throughout the year the Chengdu Panda Hash meets and hashers are picked up in a bus from Yinhe Dynasty and Orchard Villas. We then head off to a venue chosen by the HARE(S). On arrival at the run site the HOUNDS are given the "ON" by the GRAND MASTER and the HOUNDS set off along a clearly defined trail (blobs of flour and/or chalk arrows) with the front runners calling "ON, ON" and the HASH HORN blowing his own trumpet for the benefit of the slower runners and latecomers.

Every so often the trail will end, signified by a circle with an X in it on the trail - Å . This is known as a CHECK and the frontrunners, on reaching the check, start searching for the new trail, calling "CHECKING". The new trail can start up to 100 metres from the check in any direction. The time taken by the frontrunners to find the new trail allows the runners at the back (the "social or chat-pack") to catch up thus increasing the chances of everyone reaching the end of the run at roughly the same time. The frontrunners will usually find that the cunning hares have laid some FALSE TRAILS in addition to the real trail - these falsies usually consist of up to 3 blobs or arrows followed by an X or FT (false trail). This ensures that the really fit types, known as FRBs (Front Running Bastards) will become exhausted more quickly and be forced to join the social pack. If you reach a check and know that the FRBs are ahead of you, you can shout "are you?" (where are you?) and hopefully you will hear an answering "On On" or a blast from the Hash Horn.

Hash runs are usually 5 - 10 kilometres long and are designed to last 1 to 1 1/2 hours. At the end of the run there is the Hash Circle where the GM (Grand Master) welcomes new runners and thanks the hares and the RA (Religious Adviser) deals with Short Cutters and other Hash sinners.
REMEMBER
  1. Hashing is totally non-competitive although someone has to be first (FRB). If by some fluke you manage to find yourself in this unfortunate position (or anywhere near it), yell "ON, ON" until you are exhausted enough to fall back to your rightful place in the pack. These calls are not designed to help you but the poor unfortunate at the rear who can then shortcut back to the pack. The sounding of the HASH HORN achieves the same aim for all but the stone deaf.
  2. If it is your misfortune to arrive first at a check, don't sit down and rest, or stand about like a wet weed, but look for the new trail and shout "CHECKING" loud and often. If you find an X or FT, announce "FALSE TRAIL" equally loudly.
新手上路
如果你有心想参加Hash慢跑运动，那你就来对了，应该看看以下内容，如果你以前参加过Hash,你就知道是个什么方式的活动，但对于新的参加者，以下就是对这个Hash的一个简短的说明。

成都熊猫慢跑俱乐部的活动安排在每隔一个星期的星期天，贯穿全年。我们有大巴车会在银河王朝大酒店和锦绣花园接参加Hash的人们，然后大家去一个 HARE(S)（野兔）选好的跑步地点。到达后，GRAND MASTER （地主）会发给大家‘ON’，然后HOUNDS（猎狗们）开始沿着一个能清楚地分辨出的踪迹(面团和/或粉笔画的箭头)出发去追踪。跑得慢的人和后来者可 以随着领跑者的‘ON，ON’（继续、继续）的喊叫声和HASH HORN号角声来跟上来。

通常我们做好一个踪迹 后，会在它的上面画个圈，再在圈里打个叉，这样叫做一个CHECK（检查点），当跑在前面的领跑者找到这个CHECK时，就要开始寻找新的踪迹，这叫做 CHECKING（找寻）。新的下一个踪迹可能被放置在离这个踪迹大约100米远的任何方向的一个地方。当领跑者在寻找下个踪迹的时间里，团队里跑在后面 的人（叫做“SOCIAL OR CHAT－PACK”社会或聊天团队）就可以有时间赶上跑在前面的人以保证团队里的每个人能大致在同一时间到达目的地。领跑者通常会找到一些狡猾的野兔放 置在真的踪迹附近的FALSE TRAILS（假踪迹），上面注有一个X或是FT（假踪迹），这样可以使真正能跑的人，我们称作的FRBs（跑在前面的领跑人）会更快的精疲力竭而被迫加 入后面的SOCIAL PACK（社会团队）。如果你到达了一个CHECK（检查点），而且前面有FRBs，你可以大声的喊叫“ARE YOU?” （在哪里？），希望你能够听到‘ON，ON’的回答，或是一声号角的鸣叫。

Hash通常有5-10公里的路程，被设计为耗时1个小时或1个半小时。在跑步结束后，会在一个圆圈里，由GM（地主）来欢迎新成员，感谢野兔们以及帮助落后的人们抄近路的RA （Religious Adviser）地区顾问。
提醒
  1. Hash 慢跑是一项完全没有竞争的活动，尽管有人不得不跑在前面（FRBs）。如果你偶然发现你不幸处在了这个位置(或是靠近这个位置)，你就大声地叫 ”ON，ON“直到你精疲力竭而落回到团队中合适的位置。这些喊叫不是设计用来帮助你的，但是可以使不幸的落后者可以知道抄近路赶上大家。HASH HORN号角也是为了一个目的，但对聋子不起作用。
  2. 如果你不幸最先到达一个CHECK,不要坐下来休息，或是站在那里象一根湿透的杂草，而是需要去找寻新的下一个踪迹，并且大声地频繁地喊叫”CHECKING"。如果你找到的是一个X或是FT，同样需要大声的宣布“FALSE TRAIL”。
