2019 Red Dress Run
Friday, June 21 thru Sunday, June 23.
Hey you wanks!
The First Urbana-Champaign Hash House Harriers are throwing our Fourth An’al Red Dress Run!
What's a Red Dress Run?
All of us - men, women, big, small, etc. - run the hash in a red dress, in honor of the first female hasher, who, you guessed it, ran in a red dress. So h*ad on over to Goodwill or some thrift store (Amazon also has a good selection), and grab the sleaziest or most extravagant red dress you can find. And yes, you must don a red dress (or something that looks like one), or you will be mercilessly shamed by the proud crimson elite!
Charity:
In honor of the Lady in Red, all proceeds will benefit the Champaign County Girls on the Run, a 503(c) organization with over 200 councils in 50 states plus the District of Columbia. The 10-12 week after-school program curriculum encourages girls from 3rd to 5th grade to build self-confidence and develop positive relationships. A 10 week curriculum for girls from 6th to 8th grade also teaches team and relationship skills, and addresses more mature topics such body image, bullying, and drug abuse. Built into this education is a physical activity program that teaches girls skills for a lifetime of health and an appreciation for physical fitness. The program culminates with a 5K event where girls experience tangible achievements and how anything is possible with hard work.
Donations:
In addition to any registration proceeds going to Girls on the Run, if you would like to make a separate donation, the best way to do so would be to send an additional payment of your choosing as outlined in the Pricing section below.
We raised over $1,000 for GOTR last year! Let's try to beat it this year!

The Basic Rubdown:
Friday (6/21) will be a standard pub crawl (and potentially a trail) traversing several of downtown Champaign's finest establishments. Saturday (6/22) is the main event/Red Dress Run starting and ending at the historic Murphy's Pub. Sunday (6/23) we’ll have a hangover breakfast and "run" a half-assed hangover trail.
We're renting out half the bar for our own private shenanigans. We'll meet up for a bit, run trail, come back to the bar, and party the night away. Rego gets you free beer (and non-beer) and a full meal - choice of grilled chicken sandwich, cheeseburger, or chipotle black bean burger and a side (fries, coleslaw, cottage cheese, onion rings, or side salad). I'm sure we'll throw down for several giant piles of their famous Irish nachos as well. Also included is a painfully long, throbbing Circle.
Timeline:
All times CDT (mind the gap, Indiana) and subject to changes because we’re hashers.
Friday 6/21 - Bar crawl (pay your way)
There will be a short trail laid between stops, but if you're feeling lazy, just he*d over to whatever stop at the appropriate time.

Accommodations:
Hash Hotel: We're not reserving a block of rooms this year. There should be plenty of options available near the event. And if you want to stay stupidly close to the main event and have a pool to puke in, stay here: TownePlace Suites
Crash Space: If you want to save some money, we will also try to offer crash space to as many people as we can. Please indicate on the registration page if you are interested in crash space and we'll try to hook you up.
