When the crypt doors creak, and the tombstones quake
BFM comes out for a swinging wake.
Happy hashers materialize
And begin to vocalize
Hash House Harriers come out to socialize.

For our [un]lucky number 7th year, join the Ben Franklin Mob for the spookiest, scariest, drunkiest weekend of hashing in Philly: FEARADELPHIA!

Your rego covers four chilling trails: Thursday’s Anything But Clothes weekly BFM trail, Friday’s Party Animals Trick or Treat trail, Saturday’s main event Heroes & Villains trail through the historic district, ending with a catered dinner and all-you-can-drink beer/seltzers in a special crypt-ish location where you can dance the night away with whatever eldritch horrors you meet. If you resurrect on Sunday, don’t forget to shamble over to the Zombie Fat Boy conclusion pay-as-you-go brunch crawl. Regos paid before September 15th are also guaranteed a creeeeeeepily cool hab item that just might hold some of your boooooo-ze.

Plenty of additional details below, but haven’t we already frightened you into coming?

If you would like to join our jamboree
There's a simple rule that's compulsory:
Mortals pay a token fee
Rest in peace, the haunting's free.
Fearadelphia’s back, and we would like your company.

If you need another payment option (cash, paypal, etc), please email bfmhash@gmail.com or harass Slothy Seconds directly.

Fearadelphia Fund:
We challenge ourselves to keep costs low while providing an incredible experience, but we also recognize that event pricing has gotten tougher. The BFM has a fund available to support hashers who need it. Not sure if that's you? If you agree with statements like "I frequently have financial stress," "I sometimes do not attain my basic needs/worry about attaining my basic needs," or "I have no or very little expendable income," consider reaching out to us so we can assist. You can email bfmhash@gmail.com (monitored by 60k9, the BFM GM), or contact 60k9, Slothy Seconds (our Hash Cash), or someone else on MisMan directly. We will keep any arrangements discrete and private.

Additional Notes:
- All trail start times and exact locations will be confirmed closer to the dates. Please check back and/or pay attention to the final email update.
- During the event, MisMan will post all announcements to the dedicated WhatsApp community. Join now to ensure you receive all important updates (or to start bragging about your costumes).
- All events are subject to change due to weather conditions.
- MisMan reserves the right to decline a rego and return payment for any hasher found to have violated Misconduct Guidelines at BFM or other kennels. MisMan will also enforce the BFM’s Misconduct Policies throughout the weekend, with details available here.
