Welcome to the Virtual Hashké Run
Ya'a'teh (Hello) and ahe'hee' (thank you) for your interest in this virtual Hashké (Warrior) run on October 16th, 2021.
For the last 8 years, we have hosted the Canyon de Chelly Ultra 55k here in the center of the Navajo Nation. The Canyon de Chelly Ultra centers all of its activities and formats on traditional Diné, or Navajo, philosophy, belief and practices. . . concepts that go back centuries. Due to recent updates and the Delta variant of COVID-19 and to protect our elders and our children, as well as all those entered, we again had to postpon the Canyon de Chelly Ultra to 2022. In its place is this, THE 2nd ANNUAL HASHKÉ (WARRIOR) RUN, where we all run to the east the morning of October 16th, 2021 as we practice the ancient Navajo practice of running to celebrate, pray, learn and heal.
We believe it will take the act of individual warriors like you to fight the monster we know as COVID-19. We ask that you simply run for the traditional reasons above, not worried about time or distance, simply run. Because there is no specific distance to this event, consider signing up everyone in your family, young and old. When complete, please self report on Ultrasignup your total time spent running on October 16th, 2021. Do this and you will earn your feather... as a Hashké, or Warrior. Participants will receive a necklace with a custom feather in gratitude of the people you represent, protect and honor as a running warrior.
More information will be added to the Ultrasignup site and will also be shared on the Canyon de Chelly Ultra Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/838189979552938).
Lets run and become WARRIORS on Oct. 16th!
Be safe and train well,
Shaun
Event's current local time: 4:56 AM MT
