Please note, this Run shall be a 4 KM, short & sweet run. Paper shall be laid, substantially, only on broad

3 Assumptions for setting runs, during last quarter of the year:-

  1. It gets dark usually at 7.00pm, only on Tuesdays; 
  2. Leeches in the dark, if any, usually suck harder only on Tuesdays;
  3. This means to say, you can enjoy a 50 minutes' brisk walk on broad trails with no darkness and no leeches, only on Tuesdays.

It's the Merdeka Jungle Crawl Aug 28!


  • It's not your usual Tuesday run so don't be prepared for a run - it is more of a moving party.
  • If the weather does not look too good, be prepared with your raincoats or umbrellas.
  • Please dress up your best "Jungle Look" - you can wear the freebies provided or improvise your attire.
  • Please be mindful there will be many guests. We need to make them feel welcome yet their behaviour needs monitoring.

Run 715 is the Dumpling Run in RLC

  • Run 715 is the Dumpling Run
  • June 26, 2012 Tuesday 6pm
  • In Run (RLC)
A word from the OC and hare, JM Jim Poh:

The significance of the Dumpling Run is no significance. Duan Wu Festival falls on the summer solstice This year it falls on June 23, we run on June 26. It falls  in remembrance of Qu Yuan a statesman who was exiled and  turned poet during the Warring States in 278 BCE.

He was a statesman with the Chu kingdom which formed and alliance with another warring party which he opposed and was exiled. ( Zhou dynasty) Out of despair he  committed suicide in a river and his supporters threw in rice triangles to feed him in his after life. They paddled boats out to the river to scare the fish away in hope of retrieving his body.One of the reasons for the Dragon boat Festival - also celebrated at this time.

And so is the story of the Dumpling Festival.

After a few beers,  imagine this building which was probably built at the same time of the original Hash House to be the one. Just put a few arches on the windows, stretch it a bit and you will get something like the twelve room lodging house for mak salehs!!!
