Editor’s Notes

inter blizzards blow across Europe from Stockholm to Helsinki. Back in the USA, Sioux Falls welcomes hashers all winter long with hot toddies and schnapps. Sioux Falls, the Heart of America, is the fastest growing city in South Dakota. The city is situated on the prairie of the Great Plains at the junction of Interstate 90 and Interstate 29. Average monthly temperatures range from 16.6 °F (−8.6 °C) in January to 73.0 °F (22.8 °C) in July. Snowfall occurs in light to moderate amounts during the winter. The North Plains Hash House Harriers run every week, snow or shine. Puerto Galera, is located at the southwestern end of the Isla Verde Passage, 81 miles (130 Km) south of Manila, the capital city of the Philippines.
The island is renowned for some of the most diverse coral reef diving in Asia. Sabang Beach has an active nightlife with numerous bars, restaurants, and accommodations from inexpensive to luxurious. The average air temperature in February is 30 degrees Centigrade (85 degrees Fahrenheit), and the ocean is almost as warm. Find out what lies in store on Verde Island for the upcoming 1300th run of the Puerto Galera H3. You can get to Puerto Galera via a two-hour boat journey from Port Batangas, weather permitting, as the port closes down during winter storms. The Puerto Galera Hash runs every Sunday at 3:30 from Captain Gregg’s on Sabang Beach. Some snowbound hashers may dream of heading south for the winter to the warmer climes of the Philippines, Malaysia or Cambodia. Mekong Indochina Hash will be in Myanmar this year, but the government’s plans for elections might disrupt the traditional end of October timeline for this popular event. Grab your bike and head to the land of the Borneo headhunters for InterBike 3 this April. A great month for hashing is coming up this May in Cambodia, before and after Cambodia Nash Hash. All this and more in the February edition of Harrier Magazine. Many thanks to our subscribers, contributors, advertisers, and other supporters around the world who help make Harrier Magazine possible. With your contributions we bring you a glimpse of hashing around the world throughout the year. I hope to see you on trail soon. On On, Jim Edens, Editor-in-Chief Harrier Magazine – Fun on the run since 2002 International Edition with readers in 50 US states and 100 countries www.HarrierMagazine.com

Falls Park is absolutely amazing, even if you aren’t allowed to drink alcohol.
ait, there are people who actually live in South Dakota? The Northern Plains Hash House Harriers are located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They were started in July 2013 and will reach trail number 58 by December 30, 2014. The other kennel in South Dakota is Big Heads Hash House Harriers in Rapid City, South Dakota, which has well over 200 trails in the bank. Rapid City and Sioux Falls are 350 miles apart and could not be more different. Rapid City is located 350 miles from Sioux Falls, not far from the Wyoming border. Sioux Falls is on the eastern side, not far from the Minnesota and Iowa borders. Rapid City is nestled in the Black Hills which is full of trails, pine trees, and even buffalo. Sioux Falls is in the middle of corn country (think continuation of the Iowa corn belt) and is full of….corn. Both are blessed with breweries, wineries, and bars… lots of bars. In fact, South Dakota is full of drive-up liquor stores and municipal-owned bars. Hashing in South Dakota, east or west, is fun and full of unique opportunities and a lot of fun.

ost International Hashers visiting Philipinnes usually bypass Cebu City, being drawn to the Hashing excitement of Manila, Angeles City, Subic Bay, Baguio City and La Union H3 Chapters.
In the Philipinnes Visayas area, Cebu City is the capital of the Province of Cebu, Cebu City is the second largest city in the Philipinnes and is a significant centre of commerce, trade and education. So most hashers might not be familiar with the Cebu H3 Hash, being off the well beaten track. Established in 1987 by ‘Stubbies’, the Cebu Hash House Harrier Chapter is a family friendly Hash that runs each Saturday, usually from the Sand Trap Pub in Banilad Cebu. Apart from a run with the local hash, another reason to visit Cebu is for the experience of swimming with the whale sharks at the Osbud Whale Shark Sanctuary. 26 Harrier
