I'm not a Christian, but rather an Asatroist: I worship the ancient Norse gods.

So, at this time of year, rather than marking the birth of Jesus, my fellow Asatroists and I celebrate the Yuletide by honoring the return of Baldur from the realm of the dead.

To commemorate the event, our local Asatro runner's club holds an annual 100 yard fun run, The Baldur Dash.

Attendance is traditionally quite poor: actually no one outside of the club has ever shown up.

We're beginning to get the impression that everybody thinks The Baldur Dash is just a bunch of poppycock.🤔

Merry Christmas!❄️☃️🎄
