City Hash House Harriers' third annual Run Like A Pirate is shaping up to be Melbourne's most entertaining fun run. Pirate attire is encouraged, and pirates in full costume run free. Bring your tricorn hat, cutlass, Jolly Roger, parrot, and your best pirate jokes.
Held each year on the Thursday before International Talk Like a Pirate Day, this relaxed 5-8 km social run winds through Melbourne's streets and laneways at an easy, non-competitive pace. Expect plenty of laughs as bewildered diners and passers-by watch a crew of pirates jogging through the city.
Never heard of the Hash House Harriers? Perfect. This is one of the best nights of the year to come and see what they're all about.
After the run, drop anchor at The Boatbuilders Yard for a well-earned beer (or perhaps a tot of rum) and plenty of pirate stories. Arrr!
