\"09jjul03-cp1060801-walkers-blog4\"Arrow chases are the urban version of Hare and Hounds. Kids chalk arrows on the pavement instead of leaving paper trails, and Hash House Harrier clubs sometimes write esoteric instructions beside their arrows. I spotted the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWalkers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 arrow near Stanmore Station.<\/p>\n

AF remembers being on a run with his club some years ago in Melbourne when the arrows petered out near a tram stop. Not knowing what else to do the group of sweaty runners got onto the next tram that came along and rode to the end of the line. There they found that the arrow trail had resumed with the instruction \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcON ON\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These arrows come in all sizes with all kinds of text and embellishment.
