Happy New Year!

Note that our first two runs of 2026 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: probably about an hour
Date: Sunday 11th January, 2026
Hares: Louise Race & family
Registration: 1:00 onwards – registration may take longer than usual because of membership renewals, so allow plenty of time
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

We were here almost exactly a year ago, and if you joined us, you’ll remember descending to a fantastic stream/waterfall where we relaxed and played for a while.
The trails are slightly different this time, with a 3km short trail and 6km long trail, but both converge on the waterfall.

There is also a stream running past the run-site – good for cooling off in when we get back.

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.

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.

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!

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!

The event of the year is almost upon us – it’s this Sunday!!!

Have you booked? If not, we’ve passed the cut-off date, but may have some cancellations, so you can still contact us (whatsapp to 012 305 7004) to ask.

If you’ve registered, then please remember:

• Get up early on Sunday morning!
• Pack your usual hash stuff, plus some festive accessories
• Don’t forget wrapped presents for your kids!!!
• Get to the run-site by 11:30 (or 9:30 if you’re helping!). Drive in and park neatly
• Be prepared for fun and good food!

If you’re registered but need to cancel, e.g. if your family comes down with smallpox or ebola, please let us know in case there are late-comers who can buy your registrations.

Christmas Run and Party

This is our only run where everyone 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 (which include a 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 2025 subs yet) are very welcome, as always – in fact, we always expect many more guests at Christmas than on a normal run (I can’t work out why 🤔).

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

And yes, the event includes a jungle trail, as always – we have to build an appetite before lunch!

Registration deadline was Tuesday 2nd December – you’ve missed it! But you can contact us in case of cancellations.

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 7th December, 2025
Registration: 11am (much earlier than our normal runs!)
Run Starts at: around 12:00 (earlier than usual!)
Hare: Santa
Co-Hares: Elves and Reindeer (helped by Lewie Dekker)

In Waze or Google maps, search for “TTDI the Hash House”, and that takes you to our entrance, on the left just before the road narrows as it goes up the hill. 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 99.9999% 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 (all kinds) will be available for sale – that’s the only extra you need to bring cash for.

And parents should bring a wrapped present (low value, please, just in case it gets squashed) for each of their kids, and quietly put it in Santa’s sack when they arrive. Shhhh!!!

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!

Run-site: Nambee Estate, near Rasa
Travel Time: about an hour
Date: Sunday 5th October, 2025
Hares: Grigolo family
Registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

The Grigolo family are going to set a fantastic run alongside the river, and possibly in it, so get ready for some water fun!

Please sign in when you arrive:

• Members please remember to mark the registration sheet.
• Guests fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.

and PLEASE remember to sign out when you get back from the trail, 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!

Sorry, no Italian pizzas this year, but did the Romans have hot dogs?
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

The parking is near a small Hindu temple, set among the buildings of a long-abandoned palm oil estate, close to a river.
So we park at the top, and then you can walk forward and follow the track left down to a river crossing, where we plan to set up the registration desk, hotdog/drinks 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 leaving the main road and passing Rasa Chinese Cemetery, is really good now.

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

On On!

Run-site: Run-site: Taman Rimba Templer (Templer Park) – nice and close!
Travel Time: around 30-40 minutes for most of us
Date: Sunday 7th September, 2025
Hares: Clark family
Co-Hares:
Registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

This forest park is popular with the public, with its long series of waterfalls to hike around and play in.
We will use the public car park, and will find our own space for hot dogs, circle etc.

Note that there is now a small charge for access to the car park and/or trails.
The hares are working out the details, but you will need to pay a small amount per person and maybe also a small amount per car, so bring a little cash for this as well as for hotdogs and drinks.

Although the trails are limited in this area, meaning that it’s likely to be an ‘out-and-back’ run, it’s a really nice area, and a safe spot to go on your own or take friends who don’t know much about the jungle. There might even be a waterfall …

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.

Directions

The area around this popular attraction has a few entrances and car parks, but maps show a single location for ‘Taman Rimba Templer’, so that should work fine in Waze or Google Maps.

If you’re coming from KL, past Batu Caves and up the old highway 1 towards Rawang, the entrance is on the other side of the road, so you’ll have to do a U-turn.
If yor’re coming from the North/West on the LATAR, then you’ll be heading towards Batu Caves / KL, so you won’t have to do a U-turn, but you will need to watch for the correct exit.

To find the correct entrance, click on one of these icons:

If you see the Templer Park Shell station on your right, you’ve missed the best U-turn and need to look for another one.

If you see the Templer Park Shell station on your left, then you’re coming from the LATAR / Rawang direction, and need to take the second left after passing Shell.

After taking the turn-off, stop following your navigation app and look for junior hash signs and/or junior hash cars/people.
