Whippets Hash Run #43 (Prospect Park)
Prospect Park Entrance at Grand Army Plaza (map)
This workout will take place DURING the Sunday Prospect Park workout.
What's a hash run? It's a combination training run, mini-adventure and social event that also may involve beer. It works as follows: somebody will lay down a trail for a team to follow. The trail will be marked in chalk, so if you're paying attention as you run, you should have no problems following it. But at various points ("checks") the trail will go dead, and you'll have to figure out how to pick it up again. The trail will stay in and around Prospect Park so that you can't get too lost.
For more info, check out this meetup and this discussion thread.
If we have at least 12 RSVPs, we'll split the group into two teams, lay down two trails and give a prize to the team that gets to the end first. Total distance: 4-5 miles. If anyone wants to run longer, you can add a Prospect Park loop before the event starts.
To participate, PLEASE RSVP HERE. Then you must be at the Grand Army Plaza entrance to the park by 11:15 sharp to get your final instructions.

It looks like there will be a snowstorm in the next few days so definitely keep an eye out for emails regarding postponement. If we do postpone the hash run, we'll still have our regular prospect park training run at 10:00.

Just so you all know, we won't have a bag drop tomorrow. Make sure to bring some cash/credit card for brunch afterward!

Is there anywhere I can leave my down jacket or should I just come in my running clothes?
