Missed out on that Black Friday deal you wanted? Drown your sorrows by getting lost in the woods and drinking beer. Burlington H3 and Von Tramp H3 invite you to join us for Drunken Pilgrim, the most fun you can have on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's also known as Leg #2 of the Trifücta, snuggled up between Halve Mein’s Black Friday Trail and Montreal’s Sunday Trail like cozy, fleece-wearing cuddle puddle.

Trail this year takes us through the untamed wilderness of Niquette Bay State Park located right along the shores the Lake Champlain, with a combination of gorgeous vistas and rocky terrain. 🥾

On-After will be right down the road at Casa De Herp Alert and Rebel's C*m. Expect board games, bunnies, pole dancing, more bunnies, karaoke, and ice cold beer. Dinner will be provided and crash space is available. $20 gets you trail and on-after food & drinks. $6.9 if you’re just cumming out to trail. Please send monies to C-Bear on Venmo with some sort of appropriate emoji 🍗 🦃 🌽

🏃What is Hashing?
What do you get when you combine running (or walking), a combination scavenger hunt, silly songs, inappropriate jokes, kilts, and beer?
Meet the Hash House Harriers, a non-competitive running social club. Hash runs, called trails, are non-competitive scavenger hunt-style events where you can enjoy a scenic run/walk at your own pace followed by a social gathering with food and drink. The route is marked on the ground with chalk or biodegradable flour. The "hare" is a volunteer who plans the run and marks the trail. The "hounds" are the other runners who follow the trail. Just like a scavenger hunt!

🤔 Do I have to run?
Nope! In hashing, the athletic and competitive aspects of running take a back seat to the social side of things. Hashing caters to all levels of runners, with a few walkers at each hash. Von Tramp hash trails are usually 3-6 miles; most even have a split trail for walkers or runners who wish to do a shorter distance.

🍻 Do I have to drink?
While we do enjoy a nice cold beer, consumption is completely optional. There is always water and non-alcoholic options. There is never any obligation to drink alcohol.

🌲 Who are the Von Tramp Hash House Harriers?
The Von Tramp Hash House Harriers (VTH3) was founded in 2021 by two thirsty hashers who did not want to stop being active during winter in Vermont. We run every other Saturday during winter (November-April). You can see when all of our upcoming trails are happening on our website. You can also join us on Facebook.

👋 Ready to give hashing a try?
Join us for a trail! All you need is some comfortable running gear. If it's a wet or wintry day, a change of clothes (or at least socks) is recommended.
We're a very welcoming and accepting group of lovable idiots. And who knows, you might even enjoy yourself. Plus, your first trail is always free!
BUT....... if you're still wondering if hashing is right for you, check out our blog post that covers everything you need to know about hashing with us here in Vermont.

❗This meet-up is intended to help reach out to new members.
Don't let the low numbers of people who RSVP on this site fool you: there are generally 15 to 20 hashers at every event! They're just all bad at social media.

All attendees must be 21+.
