Happy New Year!

Note that our first two runs of 2025 will be on the second Sunday of the month.
From March we will be back to normal – the first Sunday.

Run-site: Sungei Batangsi
Travel Time: about an hour
Date: Sunday 12th January, 2025
Hares: Race family
Registration: 1:20 onwards – registration may take longer than usual because of renewals, so allow plenty of time
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

This is an old run-site that we haven’t been to for a long time – but PH3 ran there in December, next to a very pleasant little river/stream, and reminded us how good it is!

Registration & Membership Renewal

Unlike last month’s Christmas party, there is no need to pre-register for our normal runs – members & guests can just turn up and sign in at our registration desk.

• Renewing members just mark the registration sheet, and also pay RM120 to renew and check/update details on the Renewal form
• New members fill in a New Member form and pay RM120 (annual membership) + RM10 (registration) = RM130
• Guests must fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.

Renewing members get a freebie, and new members get a couple of freebies!

If you prefer to pay by bank transfer before the run (to CIMB account number 8007783962), please show us the payment confirmation or email it to onsec.kljhhh@gmail.com (our onsec@kljhhh.org account sometimes blocks emails for no reason).

If you’re interested in joining (which brings multiple benefits), talk to a committee member.

EVERYONE (members and guests) must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost. It’s very tempting to jump straight into the stream when you get back, and sit there for three hours, but please sign out first!

F & B

As usual, we will have hot-dogs after the run, and drinks for the young and the old, so don’t forget to bring some change.

Directions

Coordinates: 3.016235, 101.875244

The links below contain those precise coordinates, but you need to take the right fork about 100 metres before the destination that Waze or Maps direct you to.

This site can be reached via Semenyih (for most people) or via Hulu Langat (for people coming from the East side of town), so there are two ways to approach it.

If coming through Semenyih town, from the Kajang direction, turn left onto the B19 Jalan Sungai Lalang, and set your tripmeter to zero.
After 8.1km turn right and cross the bridge.
After 8.3km turn left.
Follow the road along the side of the fishing lake.
After 8.9km turn right.
After 9.4km take a fork right into the runsite.

If coming from the crossroads in Hulu Langat, head South/East on the B116 Jalan Sungei Tekali for about 10.7 km, until you hit a t-junction just before Semenyih reservoir.
Turn right onto the B19 Jalan Sungei Lalang and set your tripmeter to zero.
After 11.1km turn left and cross the bridge.
After 11.3km turn left.
Follow the road along the side of the fishing lake.
After 11.9km turn right.
After 12.4km take a fork right into the runsite.

There’s plenty of space, but please park neatly close to the other hash cars.

On On!

Can you hear sleigh bells yet? That’s right, it’s nearly Christmas, which means it’s almost time for our Christmas party!
As usual, we have it in early December, before people disappear for holidays or just become too busy – and Santa is much easier to book for the 1st of December than for the 22nd! Actually, one year we had it in January, but we try not to talk about that 😮

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED NOW!

Christmas Run and Party

This is our only run where you must pre-register – if you just turn up on the day (or if a long-lost cousin arrives unannounced), then we will try to be friendly and welcoming (as always), and will still take your fees :-), but it is quite possible that we will not be able to feed you.
It is also our only annual run where all adults attending (apart from Santa) must pay guest fees (for the meal).

Member kids still need to register, and all others need to register and pay, in advance, using this form.

For fully-paid-up members (kids), the event is free (apart from drinks!).
Guests (non-members, including lapsed members who have not paid their full 2024 subs by 30th November) are very welcome, as always.

For everyone, the cost includes the run, full Christmas meal and entertainment, and all registered kids get a freebie / goodie bag.

We are currently finalising the menu with the caterer, and will give details soon, but it will certainly be tasty and filling for hungry hashers of all shapes and sizes.

If you have problems registering, please email us.

Run-site: Hash Heritage site, TTDI / Bukit Kiara
– off Changkat Abang Haji Openg, drive in and park neatly
Travel Time: not very long
Date: Sunday 1st December, 2024
Registration: 11am (much earlier than our normal runs!)
Run Starts at: 12:30 (earlier than usual!)
Hare: Santa
Co-Hares: Elves and Reindeer (helped by Lewie Dekker)

In Waze or Google maps, search for “Senior Golfers’ Society of Malaysia”, and our entrance is immediately after that on the left. Make sure that you are going via Changkat Abang Haji Openg, not Jalan Abang Haji Openg.

You can also use these Waze or Google Maps links.

The ‘Hash Heritage House’ is 99.9% complete now (even more than last year), and already has proper toilets with running water (a luxury for hashers!), electricity for the Christmas tree lights, and a nice roof to keep us shaded and dry!

This is very different from a normal Junior Hash event, but it still includes a normal jungle run, as usual, with mud and hills and trees and maybe also monkeys.

There will be a full Christmas lunch for everyone attending (adults and kids).
Drinks will be available for sale – that’s the only extra you need to bring cash for.

There will be games and entertainment (clown, etc.), and we hope that a special guest will fly in from the North Pole.

The committee and volunteers will try to make it a perfect afternoon for everyone, but it’s up to everyone to decide how to enjoy it – usually the kids run around playing madly while half the parents sit back with a bottle of wine or just snoozing.

On On!

This is our Halloween run – expect lots of spookiness and scariness, and please bring your best costume!

Run-site: Nambee Estate, near Rasa
Travel Time: a little over an hour
Date: Sunday 3rd November, 2024
Hares: Gillian and Dylan Waring
Co-hares: Iris and Zu Renshaw
Registration: 1:10 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

They’ve improved the road to Nambee estate, so we’re only going to terrify the kids this Halloween – not the drivers 🙂
As usual, we will park near the little Hindu temple, but will probably set up our registration desk and hotdog stand down by the Rening river.

My kids have spent the last three days watching Malay and Indonesian horror films solidly, so I think we can expect to meet lots of pontianaks in the jungle this Sunday.

PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, at our registration desk. Members just mark the registration sheet, and guests must fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.

EVERYONE (members and guests) must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost.

After the run, there will be hotdogs and cold drinks, as usual, so it’s going to be a fun afternoon for the whole family – remember to bring some pocket money and a change of clothes.

… and if those clothes include a Halloween costume, then you can have fun scaring people, and we will have prizes for the best ones!

Directions

The parking is near a small Hindu temple, set among the buildings of an abandoned palm oil estate, close to a river.
So we park at the top, and then you can walk forward and then follow the track left down to a river crossing, where we may set up our hotdog stall and do the circle.

As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate.

The last 3.5km of the driving route, after passing Rasa Chinese Cemetery, has improved a lot since last October, and is mostly nice and level now, but still has some short sections where you’ll want to slow down.
Don’t rush it, and you’ll be fine, even in a city car, as long as it isn’t a Lamborghini with only 4 inches of ground clearance.

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

On On!

Run-site: Cherandong Waterfalls, near KKB
Travel Time:
Date: Sunday 6th October, 2024
Hares: Marthe, Wilma and Angelina (Koh family)
Co-Hares: to be confirmed
Registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

This is one of our favourite swimming spots, but we haven’t been here for over a year – since the Koh family’s run in August 2023, in fact!

It’s at a campsite right next to a fun stretch of river, which can flow quite fast in the middle, so keep an eye on your smaller kids or you might have to go and collect them at Kuala Selangor 🙂

PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, at our registration desk. Members just mark the registration sheet, and guests must fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.

EVERYONE (members and guests) must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost.

After the run, there will be hotdogs and cold drinks, as usual, so it’s going to be a fun afternoon for the whole family – remember to bring some pocket money and a change of clothes.

If you want to come early, and have a picnic lunch or just chill in/by the river, feel free.
Otherwise, just try to arrive by around 1:40, remembering that the run-site is still about 10 minute’s drive beyond where the Waze directions take you.

The run-site is at a private camp-site, right by the river, but our club has paid the site fees, and most of the weekend campers will have packed up by the time we arrive, so we should have it almost to ourselves.

Directions:
Use Waze or Google Maps to go to “Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead” – this is on tarmac, and is on Jalan Kampung Buluh Telur, 44000, Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor.

This is on the right (East) side of the river – make sure that Waze doesn’t take you to the closest road on the other side of the river!

Then follow our KLJHHH bunny signs to take the trail on the left, which stays close to the Selangor river for 1 or 2 km further to our run-site, where there is plenty of parking. This trail is a little bumpy in parts, but suitable for normal cars – just take it slowly and carefully, and you’ll have no problem.

More detailed directions:

Tell your navigator to guide you towards Kuala Kubu Baru (or use the link above)
• At the crossroads on the old Ipoh road by the Rasa Chinese Cemetary, set your tripmeter to zero
• After almost 1km further (towards KKB), turn RIGHT to Ampang Pecah
• Continue on Jalan Ampang Pecah for 5.5km
• When your tripmeter reads about 6.5km, just before a bridge, turn RIGHT
• You should see the DAM cafe and DAM fishing pond on your right
• Drive another 2.3km
• When your tripmeter reads about 8.8km, you’ll see a parking area on your LEFT. Turn in, and then follow the plantation road on the LEFT, which soon runs alongside the river
• Follow the hash signs to the run-site, at which point your trip-meter should read something close to 10km

On On!

We’re doing another Italian pizza feast in Ulu Rening, similar to last July, and we need you to pre-order pizzas in advance, using this form.

Run-site: Ulu Rening – the cafe at 82 Rening
Travel Time: a little over an hour
Date: Sunday 8th September, 2024
Hares: Grigolo family
Co-Hares: probably more Italians
Pizzaioli: probably Robin and others
Registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

In September our run-site will be a cafe in Ulu Rening – the same place we cooked pizzas in July 2023.

So we’ll be taking over most of the cafe and serving pizzas, freshly-baked on site, instead of our usual hotdogs. We think our pizzas are better than most restaurants, but come along and try them for yourselves!

You don’t need to pre-register to attend the run, but you do need to pre-order if you want food, and who wouldn’t want a delicious pizza after a run? The form for ordering pizzas is here, and we need you to order by Thursday 5th September, so we can make the right amount of dough and prepare the correct quantity of toppings.

Another difference is that there won’t be a river to play in at the end, but there will be a swimming pool!!
Please bring proper swimming attire, and wash the mud/sweat off before entering the pool.

As well as the pizzas, we will have cold drinks, as usual, but no need to pre-order them!

So don’t forget to bring some pocket money and a change of clothes.

As always, PLEASE remember to sign in BEFORE the run, at our registration desk. Members just mark the registration sheet, and guests must fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.

EVERYONE (members and guests) must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost.

Directions:
Follow Waze or Google Maps to “82 Rening”, which is just before you enter the Ulu Rening kampung, about 7km beyond Batang Kali.

After Batang Kali, you will be on quiet roads through little kampungs, with kids playing on bikes and chickens running around, so please drive carefully and don’t rush, even if you’re late.

The entrance is on the right, a few hundred metres before you reach the mosque at the end of the main road (if you get there, turn round!).
There is some parking for the cafe, but some people will need to park carefully on the road outside.

On On!
