    It's the Dirty Thirty!

    The Little Rock Hash House Harriers invite you to join them for three nights and four days of fun, fellowship, and general Hash debauchery while communing with nature in a picturesque mountain setting.

    Camp Clearfork is located on a spring-fed lake in the scenic Ouachita National Forest on Hwy. 270, twenty miles west of Hot Springs National Park. If you’re full of energy, you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, fishing, or swimming. Or if you’re like the rest of us, you can just roast your weenie and brown your buns until the next hash run.

    Price? Cheap! Only $145 for a bed in a bunkhouse, or $165 for a bed in a staff cabin if you pay before May 1 (after May 1, add $20 to each). Included in the fee are three nights of lodging, hot showers, meals, tons of beer & snacks, plus the usual assortment of priceless giveaways and other hash junk you’ve come to know and love. Bring your own pillow, twin bedding, personal effects, a floatie, and a swimsuit if you’re shy. Note: Space is limited to the first 78 paid entrants. If you are not event staff and sign up for a staff cabin, you may be reassigned to a bunkhouse and the difference refunded.

    Hash Runs, you ask? There are plenty of them, including:

    The Get Acquainted Run Friday, 7:00 p.m.

    The Dark-of-the-Moon Run Friday, 11:45 p.m.

    The 13th Psycho Memorial Hash Run Saturday, 4:00 p.m.

    The Hangover Recovery Run Sunday, 11:00 a.m.

    Camp Clearfork is located at 11500 Clearfork Trail, Royal, AR, 71968. To get there, take I-30 to Malvern, Arkansas, then go West on Highway 270 approximately 45 miles. Camp Clearfork is located 20 miles west of the city of Hot Springs. Watch for the sign on the left about two miles past the town of Crystal Springs.
