This is my kind of running club!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_House_Harriers
"At a Hash, one or more members (Hares) lay a trail, which is then
followed by the remainder of the group (the Pack or Hounds). The trail
often includes false trails, short cuts, dead ends, and splits. These
features are designed to keep the pack together regardless of fitness
level or running speed, as front-runners are forced to slow down to find
the "true" trail, allowing stragglers to catch up.
Members often describe their group as "a drinking club with a running
problem," indicating that the social element of an event is as
important, if not more so, than any athleticism involved. Beer remains
an integral part of a Hash, though the balance between running and
drinking differs between chapters, with some groups placing more focus
on socialising and others on running."

Howdy,
Just an FYI, we just spotted several folks running down our street, Rumson, with LED
lights, hollering at each other.
