Bad Decisions H3 Virtual R*ns
Our VR trails are dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and inclusive of hashers who do not wish to drink alcohol. Kids are welcome and do not need to rego unless they want event tags and to earn demerit patches. Our default distance for Virtual R*ns is 1 mile in case anyone wants to involve children, but your trail can be longer than a mile if you want. Our VRs take place during odd-numbered months (January, March, May, July, September, November). If you want to participate but don't use Facebook, you may participate via email. Just add your email address in the field that asks for your Facebook Name.
Doing your trail on a treadmill or stationary bike is acceptable. Your trail may be done alone, with friends, at a local hash, a travel hash event, a BASH, or a muggle race/event.
Trail Guidelines
Run, walk, or bike your trail (wearing kennel hab is preferable but not required)
Post a photo from your trail to the Facebook event (“selfies”, scenery, route maps are fine) or submit photos via email if you're not participating on Facebook.
If you use a GPS tracking app, post a screenshot of your trail (just for fun, not required)
Optional Down-down
At the end of your trail sing, “This is my down-down song…it isn’t very long…”
Drink a down-down with the beverage of your choice (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
Note: As long as you’re rego’d we take it on the dishonour system that you did a trail regardless of whether you post a photo (phones are forgotten, batteries die, apps aren’t started, etc.). If you make a post specifically saying you did not do a trail, your rego fee can be refunded or applied to the next VR - your choice.
Demerit Badges
VR Participants will earn a special demerit badge for each set of ten trails completed. Additional demerit badges will be issued for “perfect attendance” in a series of VRs, for example: VR21-30, VR31-40, etc.
Holiday Exchanges
We host 2 optional Holiday Exchanges for our VR participants each year: a Valentine & Patch Exchange in February and a Hashy Gift Exchange in December.
Hall of Shame Awards
Photos submitted to the VRs are eligible for our year-end Hall of Shame awards.
Yearbook
A selection of photos posted to the event will be featured in the kennel yearbook. Please let us know if you do not want your photos published. Photos of rego’d hashers appear in the Virtual R*n section of the yearbook; surplus photos and photos containing people who are not rego’d will appear in the Kennel Member Photos section of the yearbook.
