Chardonnay’s Workers Unite Trail – R*n 1468
1 May 2025 from Kingston Beach RSL Club
Hare: Red Dress
Run Reporter: Chris Miss

So we all assembled at the Kingston Beach RSL for a run set by Red Dress. On looking up the definition of Red Dress, it can be associated with confidence, power and seduction. Red Dress was certainly full of confidence as he stated the walk would be about 4km and a bit and the run 6km and a bit. It was clear he’d used his used car salesperson skills in winding back the Strava distance details! More on that later…

I’d earlier in week given him the heads up that gun runners Maxi and Poley would be absent, so no need to set a marathon. Maxi is currently in Iceland drinking $44 beers and Poley is in Vietnam drinking 99 cent beers. I told Red Dress that the previous week Jack Shit set a lovely 6.5 km run where us, not-so-fast runners, could comfortably complete and run together. I was trying to save him some time, but no, he was soooo in touch with his confident side he’d set an 8km and a bit run and 6km and a bit walk. Poor Jack Shit and Wee Bev – who haven’t run for weeks – were even sucked into doing the run, thinking 6km is doable!

The only saving grace was that there actually weren’t many hills. The run pretty much did a loop around Kingston Beach then headed down Ewing Avenue. On On was called loudly by all Hashers as we past Swallow’s place. Unbeknownst to us she was on a national conference call about the upcoming election! Oops …

On around the oval then past the golf course to Kingston and around the back on the very new bike path. Lots of very long checks and FTs, that had many wondering if they were ever going to be on. At one point the walkers were horribly lost after a check and resorted to ringing Red Dress only to be laughed at and told only follow chalk arrows and you should have listened to the instructions!

We soon headed across the highway and around the back of the shopping plaza then up Auburn road and down to the oval again, with an on home marking so as not to cross his trail.

Back at the RSL a variety of different curries were served. Some more kickarse hot than others. Morticia nearly blew her head off eating the vegie curry. Even Jack Shit said it was hot and spicy, and that says something. 

Nancy Boy and Spoof provided an entertaining Lip session. So all in all a great night was had by all. 

On On Chris Miss
