If you dare for a Halloween scare, join us at the Hash Heritage site to creep, crawl or float over one of the last tracts of jungle remaining in the city. Given the rains, please come prepared for mud.
We advise you to complete the run in normal running clothes and change into your Halloween costume after.

Post run is your chance to dress up as ghouls and witches and zombies and superheroes. Our Halloween activties include:
1. Face painting (looking for face-painting volunteers!)
2. Costume competition with prizes

AGM run!!!

This month it’s more of a kampung run than a hard-core jungle run (apologies to those who love to get really muddy), but there’s no shortage of nature and good views, and the big kids who love to run fast will find plenty of opportunity for that (the slow ones can just walk as usual!).

The ‘AGM’ aspect is low-key (almost invisible), but anyone wanting to scrutinise our annual accounts can just ask any committee member, and we’re always happy to get volunteers to join the committee or help set runs.

Run-site: Ulu Rening, near Huda’s Haven resort (in the Genting Valley, near Hulu Yam / Batang Kali)
Travel Time: 70 to 80 minutes, depending on starting point
Date: Sunday 8th September, 2019
Registration: 1:00 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm
Hares: Iris & Zulaika Renshaw

It’s our AGM, and we always expect a big turnout in September, including many first-timers.
But in most ways it’s a normal run:

• short (around 2km) and long (around 4km) trails
• cold drinks and hot dogs on sale
• a stream to cool down in after the run
• all are welcome
• as always, everyone needs to register before the run, at our registration desk

Existing members need to renew (RM100 per member), and will get an AGM freebie.
Any new members joining this month pay RM100 membership, plus RM10 joining fee, and get the AGM freebie plus a joining gift.
Guests just pay RM10 (per kid) for the run – we recommend new junior hashers run as guests a few times before deciding if they want to join or not.

The registration desk will be busier than usual, so please arrive early and be patient.

Before the run (at 2pm), there will be some announcements that everyone needs to listen to – especially first timers.
It is essential for everyone (members and guests) to sign in before the run and sign out after the run, so we know that nobody is lost.

Directions:
As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate – just click on the icon below or look up “Huda’s Haven” on Waze:

Once you reach the T-junction in Ulu Rening village, turn left and follow brown signs towards “Huda’s Haven” and green signs towards ‘Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kg Hulu Rening Selangor’, until you see our usual KLJHHH bunny signs.
The run site is before a footbridge across the river.
Once you get within around 200m of the footbridge, you need to look for parking beside the track, as there isn’t any big car park at the end. Please stay on public land.

From BATU CAVES:
– Take the B57 Hulu Yam Baharu road.
– Drive pass the Hulu Yam dam and reservoir.
– At Hulu Yam town turn right towards Genting Highlands on B113 and set trip meter to zero.

Venue: the waterfall behind Hulu Selangor Science School, Ulu Yam

Travel Time: 60-70 minutes

Date: Sunday 4th August, 2019

Run Starts at: 2pm – aim to be there for 1:30 (or come even earlier for a picnic lunch)

Hares: Rosely and French families

This is a popular site that we visit most years, and the small waterfall is perfect for August when our turnout isn’t as high as usual.

The science school is at the junction of Persiaran Antara Gapi and the main Ulu Yam – Batu Caves road, just a couple of km from Ulu Yam Baru town. We take the side road that turns off about 100 metres along Persiaran Antara Gapi, to go behind the school and almost to the new ‘Flamboyant Resort’.

There is a small waterfall with pools above and below it – perfect for splashing around to cool off after the run (short – 2km or long – 4km).

As usual, we will have cold drinks and hot dogs (made with Victoria Crest sausages), so bring a little pocket-money.

Directions:

The run-site is at 3.406167,101.659

If you click one of these icons, it will direct you to the run-site:

 

There are at least 3 good ways to get there, depending on traffic and your starting point:

• one way is to go up the Batu Dam road behind Batu Caves
• another is up the old Ipoh Road, and then on the shiny new bypass around Rawang to Serendah
• a third way is described in detail below:

 

Via the N-S highway

– Go North (towards Ipoh), and take exit 117, for Sungei Buaya (this is the relatively new exit between Rawang R&R and Bukit Beruntung)

– After the toll, turn left at the traffic lights

– Go straight (winding road) for just over 2km until you reach traffic lights

– Turn right at the lights, towards Serendah/Rawang

– Drive straight for about 3km, passing the Perodua factory, until you hit the old highway 1 at Sungei Choh

– At this junction, keep in the far left lane (there is usually a queue to turn right) and turn left towards Serendah / KKB / Ipoh

– Drive for about 10km until you see a traffic-light junction with colourful new (mostly empty) shop-lots on your left

– Get into the right-hand lane, and turn right at the lights, into Antara Gapi

– Drive along Persiaran Antara Gapi for 5km, until the science school is on your right – this is only about 100 metres before the Ulu-Yam – Batu Caves road, so if you reach that road then you’ve gone a tiny bit too far

– turn sharp right (180 degrees) onto a small road that leads behind the school

– follow this track (and hash signs) until you reach the run-site, by a small bridge across a stream

Follow directions to park considerately.

On On!
