About BH3
June 1998
Not even the Norwegian national footbal team playing in a World Cup match is enough to stop us running on Wednesdays, as was reported in a local newspaper (Bergens Tidende), when a journalist and photographer bumped into us on our way to the drink stop on run #87. This was duly noted in an article the following day.
October 2001
BH3 was featured in three articles in a local newspaper (Bergens Tidende) in connection with the anthrax (white powder) scare in October 2001, when someone phoned the police having found the trail markings on run #299. This resulted in Danmarksplass (part of Bergen) being closed off while the fire brigade hosed down the whole area. This was duly reported in the local newspaper the following day! Our GM contacted the police to explain what had happened and they were not amused! A journalist and photographer from the newspaper documented our run #300 in a follow-up article. The police banned all use of flour and gave us red paint to use instead! They also insisted on sanctioning the runs but after a while they probably got tired of all the extra paperwork involved and told us to go away and stop bothering them. The three articles on the newspaper's Web site have long since disappeared, but are still to be found in an Internet archive (in Norwegian):
September 2007
A journalist and photographer from the same newspaper joined us on run #690. This resulted in a three-page article in the Saturday supplement a few weeks later. This article was never published on the Web, so there is no link to it.
