The Tacoma Hash House Harriers
Run # 610? 16 January, 2:00 pm

Good News – Today’s Forecast is perfect hashing weather!!

High: 52F Low: 41F With only a 40% chance of rain showers..

We’ll blow off the Hare after a brief instructional period (20-30 minutes). Expect a scenic run through Southwest King County suburbia… plenty of pavement to pound in-between the groomed shiggy. Trail will be dog friendly (keep em leashed – it’s the law!) Stroller challenging but I guess do-able with detours. Bring virgins, a whistle to blow, new shoes, dry clothes for the pissup, and $7 for hash cash.

Directions:
Take I-5 North or South to 518 Westbound.
Go west past the airport until you hit the traffic lights (approaching Burien).
Turn LEFT at the traffic light’s green arrow to head South on the 509 .
Follow 509 a short distance where the freeway appears to come to an end. Be sure and exit RIGHT to avoid merging (to the left) on to Eastbound 188th. You will want to exit west towards Des Moines/Normandy Park).
Make a RIGHT turn at the end of the exit ramp followed by a quick LEFT at the traffic light (8th Ave S).
Head west… and then turn RIGHT at the SECOND STOP SIGN (South 200th St).
The parking lot for Aviation High School will be found on your immediate left… look for hashers dressed to get wet!

Plenty of Parking at the Start: 615 S 200th St. Des Moines, WA 98198
