Hash Marks - Almost all trail marks will be set with the same flour your Grandma used to make her cookies. It is cheap, bio-degradable, and not a whole lot of folks are using it to set running trails, so chances are good, if you see a pile of flour on a hash, the hare put it there. Ideally, you'll be able to see one mark from the next. On the left, you'll see three marks. Imagine that they are about 25 yards apart. |

True Trail - If you see this on trail, then you know you are going the right way. Which ever way this arrow is pointing means the trail goes that way, no if ands or butts. Now there may be an intersection up the way, that is when the trail could make a turn. This mark can be made with chalk or flour, depending on where you are. |

Intersection (on road or writable surface) - Of course, just running and following blobs of flour would be almost as dull as regular running. So, to spice things up, and to make the trail mentally as well as physically challenging, the hare will occasionally leave a mark like the one on the left. This weird circle with an "H" (or an "I" depending on who you ask) means that you have reached an intersection, which means the trail can go in any direction, except the way you came, but only one of which is the true trail. Your job is to find the proper trail... or wait for someone else to find it. |

Intersection (In Shiggy) - This is the same thing as above, but will be made with flour because it will be in an area that chalk cannot be used. Again the trail can only go in one direction and when you decide to go whichever way, you will kick one of the three spots in the direction you went. |

Bad Trail - So, how are you supposed to figure out which trail is the right trail? When you get to an intersection, look for a blob of flour nearby, and keep following until either you have reached a true trail AFTER the check, another intersection, which means you are a smart puppy who found true trail, or you'll run into three parallel lines like those on the left, or one of the next 2 marks. This is called a bad trail, and means you picked the wrong mark. Head back to the intersection and try again! D'ohhh! |

Check Back - This is another bad trail mark, but the CB means Check back, and the number means that is how many hash marks you have to check back. It could be any number, like 5 or 10 or even 69. When you get this, turn around and count back that many hash marks, and when you get to that number, that hash mark becomes and intersection. |

U Been Fucked - This is yet another bad trail symbol and will usually been seen after you have been runing a while and think you are on true trail. This is also far enough down the trail that the rest of the pack is following you and if you are the Front Running Bastard (FRB), then you get to give everyone behind you the great news. So if you see this, run back to the last intersection and go a different way! |

Boob Check - The guys favorite check, a BOOB CHECK. Now what is suppose to happen here is that whenever any guy comes to this, he should stop and turn around to wait for the next harriette or harriettes to come by at which time they should honor him by flashing her boobs. Of course it is optional for the harriette to show them or not, but if you do, it will make any guy happy. |

Cock Check - Harriettes, this one is for you. This "T" looking mark is suppose to be a cock check, that is where you should stop, turn around and wait for the next guy to come around at which time he should show you his cock. Like the boob check, this is optional, but stick around, some guys like to make the women happy. |
