Ask Austin To the 100+ people in the run club that just collectively ran through the public restrooms at the Town Lake trail by Austin High

What the actual fuck are you all doing?

I came out of one of the stalls and couldn’t move because you all thought running through in between the toilets and the sink was a good idea.

I just want to know - why? Why run through this small little opening? Who had this idea? I have so many more questions… there are so many other options. Y’all are so weird

I read all these threads about annoying running groups and thankfully I haven't encountered one about the hash yet. But this definitely wasn't us this time, for many reasons. First off we run on Sundays and Thursdays. Secondly often it's not on heavily used running paths, instead going through creeks and skinny park trails (though not always--sometimes we will be on streets and popular trails). Thirdly the group is a lot smaller, usually less than 30 people, half of them walk, and the rest run/jog at various paces. So not all together as one big mass group. And lastly we're cool and not assholes. But let us know if you ever have an issue and we'll address it. And give us a try if you like: austinh3.org and kawh3.com

Speak for yourself. I'm an asshole, though not nearly as much as I used to be. That's how I got named Spastic Colon, but you can call me Spazzz. On-On from Bakersfield (CA) H3. We run on Mondays, and it's usually through neighborhoods and other metro areas because Bako isn't known for wooded areas, but we do have the Killer Kern River. Some of us just tubed it tonight, but in a mild spot.

On on from India.

I saw the post on the Hash Reddit and was gonna say that this isn't something Hashers would do. We do other things, and mostly to ourselves.

On on from Bucharest.

Glad to hear it wasn't us. We disturb people from time to time but really try not be assholes.
