JRH3 History & Traditions
m

The inaugural running of the JRH3 was on Wednesday, January 29th, 2003. The Jolly Roger H3 was founded by Dabadoo who's mother hash was the Big Lik H3 in Adana Turkey. Hostitute was the co-founder. The  JRH3 was started for those people who depend upon hashing to get their exercise and not just to get drunk. We don't do pub crawls unless they are preceded with 2 or more miles of an actual hash trail.

The JRH3 normally meets every Wednesday,  at 6:30 PM and follow trail at 7:30 PM sharp. We also set trails on alternating Saturdays and Sundays. Weekend hashes during eastern standard time "normally" meet at 3:00 PM and follow trail  at 4:00 PMish. On weekends during daylight savings time, we normally meet at 5:00 PM and follow trail at 6:00 PMish. However, these times are ultimately up to the hare(s).

The JRH3 will always try to de-conflict setting trail during the exact same time as any other local hashes, even if it means taking it out-of-town (more than 50 miles away fromm the Courthouse in downtown Tampa). If there is a full moon hash on Tuesday the JRH3 will move to Thursday. If there is a  full moon Hash on Wednesday, the JRH3 will move to Tuesday. If there is a full moon hash scheduled on one of our Saturdays the hare has the option of doing a double "double header" hash (scheduling the JRH3 hash earlier in the day so people can also attend the full moon hash that evening), or opt to set trail on Sunday instead.

Sundays are normally designated as adventure hashes where we follow trail in kayaks, bicycles, roller skates, roller blades, etc. They can even be done on foot, however, they should be more "adventurous" than a typical in town street kind of trail. But there are no rules, so whatever the hares want to do is ultimately Okay.

JRH3 trails should normally be set within about a 50 mile radius from the Courthouse in downtown Tampa, FL, but should be more centrally located on weeknights. Click here to view the approximate area.

Attendees should "normally" expect trails that are relatively easy with light, dry shiggy, unless otherwise advertised for a particular trail.

The JRH3 awards headbands for members that accomplish their 10th, 25th, 50th, 69th, 100th and for every 25 runs there after until the member reaches 500 runs. Then headbands are awarded every 50 thereafter. And, you get a free whistle the second time you show up. Likewise, hares are recognized for every 10 runs they set by awarding them with a hare tag. Mismanagement members are also given tags with the year they were commandeered.

So, come on out and join us real soon.  Its open to everyone and it only takes half of a mind to participate.
