What is a Larrikin? Webster's Dictionary describes us as mischievous or frolicsome youths, rowdy street loafers and noisy ill-bred fellows. However, we are just "A drinking club with a running problem."

What do we do? We meet up every Monday at 6:15pm to await the "Hares" that have volunteered to lay the trail for the day. The Hares are fellow hashers that will take off at 6:30pm and lay a trail of flour and chalk that the rest of us (called the "Pack") will try to follow. The Pack starts walking 12 minutes after the Hares leave and walks for approx. 3 minutes before we start r*nning. The Hares use checkpoints, BT's, and YBF's (called "hash marks") and sometimes well hidden spots of flour to throw off the pack, making the trail interesting and to give them a chance to reach the "On-In" before getting "snared" or caught on trail. This is called "Hashing."

Where do we hash? It depends on the Hares. The runstarts are all over San Diego. From Ocean Beach to La Mesa (sometimes even farther east like Crest). From Downtown to Mira Mesa or even Rancho Penasquitos or Scripps Ranch.

How long are the trails? Also depends on the Hares. They range from 4 - 7 miles. There is usually a "Turkey" and an "Eagle" trail - the turkey being shorter or less difficult. The goal is to make it fun, so the Hares usually find very interesting trails through canyons, up hills, across streams, through tunnels, etc. Anything off-road is called "shiggy." There is always a chance you'll get wet, so always bring extra clothes and shoes. There is usually a "beer check" or water somewhere on trail - about halfway.

Where do the trails end? At a bar - unless it's a holiday or special event. The Hares determine the "On-In".

What happens at the On-In? We grab a beer, maybe some grub and have a roast that we call "Down-Downs." This is where we toast newcomers - called "virgins", welcome backs, visitors, birthdays, and many other misc. events. And we roast hashers for things heard on trail or stupid and funny things they've done recently. We provide a small beer to anyone that receives a toast/roast and before they drink, we sing them a "Down-Down" song. It's usually funnier than hell, and if you like a good laugh, this is worth the 5 - 7 miles of shiggy you had to hash through to get there!

Why hash with us? We are a hash that "goes with the flow". Everyone is welcome! We have a great mix of Harriettes (ladies) and Hashers (men), of all ages, some fast, some slow, some that walk, some with dogs, and some that just come to the On-In to enjoy the Down-Downs!

What does it cost? Just $2 - Which is used to buy the Down-Down beer. But bring extra money for your own beer and grub.

When does it end? At the end of toast/roast, the GM's will say "May the Hash Go in Peace" and the Pack responds, "May the Hash Get a Piece!" At this point there may be an On-On-On announced or if the On-In has pool tables or Karoake it becomes the On-On-On.
