This year’s annual Zurich Red Dress Charity Run was held on  9 July 2016 at GZ Hottingen. There was quite an eye-catching city center run, lots of fun, beer, and money raised for the Theodora Stiftung.

Several hashers went the extra mile to help the cause this year. Chirstian Harlot and Thirsty Thursday completed a whole month without alcohol to raise just over 650 CHF and Shamcock scooped up a sweet corporate donation of 1000 CHF. In total, ZH3 raised over 3,000 CHF!

ALL profits of this event were donated to the Giggle Clowns of Stiftung Theodora, who lighten up hospital stays for children with visits from clowns who make them forget their illness and laugh and giggle and smile.

The race starts with a ladies stretch 1 at 7:30 (8:00 for the fast team) in the misty Hönggerberg woods. Then runners 2 to 7 head out into Engstringen, up and along the Uetliberg and back into town, finishing at the beautiful University Irchel. The afternoon runners 8-12 start at 12:30 (13:00 fast team). The trail heads through Forch to Egg and comes back to Witikon. 2 short runs from there to the finish at Irchel complete the race. This is the complete route. We meet at tents across the lake from the finish (see the picture for the view from our beer stop).
