LH4  DOES WHAT????        

MEETING TIMES:  LH4 meet every Tuesday evening at 18.45 for a run of approximately one hour following a marked trail which also has false trails with the aim (if set properly) to slow down the front runners while they check to find the real trail - that's why the hare (above) is looking so knackered!   This (in theory) allows the slow runner (i.e. tortoise above) to catch up looking fresh!!! 

LOCATION:   We start at a different location every week and this is posted on the website under Next Week's Run and also emailed to members via the weekly newsletter.   At the end of the run,  drinks are provided on site.    This is a mixture of beer, water and soft drinks.

THE RUN:   Usually two members (hares) set the run in chalk and flour.   This can be starting and finishing in the same spot (A to A) or starting at one point and finishing elsewhere (A to B) in which case the hares arrange for the bags to be transported to B.    Run duration should be 1 hour with the whole pack coming in within minutes of each other if the checks have been set properly. 

FITNESS:      We have a mix of fit runners,  not so fit and walkers - all are welcome.    We are an adults only hash (ladies and men) and ages range from 20s to 75.    More important than fitness, is a willingness to leave all traumas and troubles behind for a few hours and have a few laughs.

EQUIPMENT:  Standard jogging gear, plus torch, mozzie spray and  water to carry on the run.

VISITORS:  There is a small charge of HK$20.   Hong Kong residents may run twice as a visitor before committing to membership.    Overseas visitors can run during their stay.

JOINING FEES:  The membership fee is HK$480 for six months (July to Dec) and HK$960 for one year (July to June).   Anyone joining mid-year just pays a pro-rata amount.   Membership fees cover drinks after the run, the newsletter and various T-shirts and gifts at the Annual General Meeting in June.

ON ON:   After recovering from the exertions of the run we replenish the soul with food and drink either on site, at a restaurant or, when really lucky, some brave hares take us home for dinner - all organised by the hares who have set the run!!   Where possible, vegetarians and other dietary needs will be catered for if the hares are advised in advance.   The cost is shared between all attending.
