The Wear Red (Not Necessarily A Dress) Hash

hedgehogFebruary is Heart Health Month, the month when we take a moment to thank the second hardest-working organ in our bodies. Your heart beats about 38 million times in a year, give or take a few million extra depending on your love life, and what do you do for your heart in return? Dump trans fats on it and blob out on the couch watching Juan Pablo or Brooke Burke-Charvet, that’s what. Well, not on February 1, dammit! Your hares, Dowelrod and White Lightning, have put together a simply mindboggling (or mindbogglingly simple, actually) hash trail to promote heart health and get you breathing hard for a change. You’re invited to wear red on trail in commemoration of the cardiac theme, but what you wear doesn’t have to be a dress (btw, the Red Dress Hash is April 26th this year! Put it on your calendar now!). And, we’re even going to contribute one dollar to the Scripps Research Institute for each hasher who shows up for trail, in honor of everyone’s ticker. So come out and wear red – your heart will thank you for it.

Then we’ll stuff ourselves with greasy food at the on-after.

What: The Wear Red (Not Necessarily a Dress) Hash
Hares: Dowelrod and White Lightning
Start: Will Detmer Park, 4140 W Vernal Pike, Bloomington
When: 3:00pm, Saturday, February 1
How much: $6 for veteran hashers, free for newbies, cheep as ever

Directions: From the courthouse, take Kirkwood west, which turns into Third Street. After crossing Rogers, turn right at the next stoplight, onto Adams Street. Go about three blocks and turn left onto Vernal Pike. Take Vernal Pike for about eight minutes, crossing 37 in the process, and look for signs for Will Detmer Park on the right. If you hit Curry Pike, you’ve gone too far. Too far!
