Calgary's First Annual Red Dress Run
Saturday, September 13, 2008 at 2 pm
for the Canadian Diabetes Association
What is the Red Dress Run?
Male and female runners alike, don red dresses and run (and party)
on the premise of supporting a charity. The run is followed by beer drinking,
dinner, a charity auction and the ledgendary red dress dance.
The Hash House Harrier's Red Dress Run began in San Diego when a new hasher showed up
for a run wearing only a red dress (having been ill informed of what to
expect). When she next returned, other hashers decided to wear a red
dress as a joke. It soon became an annual event and eventually
spread around the world.

Drinking & Driving
- If you're drinking, please don't drive
- Make sure that you have a way to get home
(or to your hotel,
or to his/her/their place,
or to wherever you're staying)
without driving
- The minimum penalty for drunk driving in Alberta is a
one year license suspension and a $600 fine,
but the usual fine is $800 to $1200. You'll also have to
take a responsible drinking course (which you pay for), pay your
lawyer and also pay much higher insurance premiums
