Although the parameters that each chapter sets may differ, in general, a hare sets a trail and is followed by the pack. Enthusiasts refer to themselves as hashers and to the activity as hashing. There will also be a circle, a ceremony where we sing hash songs (not for those easily offended) to thank the hares, welcome visitors and recognize craziness on trail. The Hash House Harriers is an international group of non-competitive social running clubs. Some hares lay proper walkers’ trails with checks for them to solve as well, while others offer maps with a shortcut to the drink stop.Ī hash trail is like a treasure hunt for beer as there will always be beer and snacks at the On-In, the end point of the trail. Slower runners have frequent opportunities for breaks as the faster runners solve the checks, or you can switch to the walkers trail whenever you want. A runner’ trail tends to be 7-10K long, but it is not a race, it is a game. After the hash, we go to a local restaurant/pub for tasty beverages and nourishment. Anyone over 21 is welcome to join, and the trail easily accommodates all abilities. all year round If you are looking for a RUNNING-ONLY-CLUB, we might not be quite the ticket - If. The hares use various markings on the trail to direct the pack where to go, most often using chalk or flour.ĪH3 welcomes runners of all abilities. The Hash House Harriers, commonly abbreviated to H3, is an international, but loosely connected, organisation of social running groups. Runs occur every Thursday night at 5:69pm (6:09pm) from April through September, and 12:69pm (1:09pm) on Sundays from October through March. We run in or around Bergen, Norway every Wednesday at 7 p.m. The pack tries to follow the trail, solving the various checks (intersections where the trail could go in many directions) along the way and often stopping for a drink stop part way through. The hares set the trail at a location of their choice, either a few hours or the day before (a dead lay) or just a few minutes before the hash starts (a live lay). The rules of the hash are simple: there are none. In other words, their purpose was to build up a good thirst, and then to satisfy it. After running, they would eat and drink at their local ‘Hash House’. The hash started in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur when a group of British expats converted a children’s game called Hares and Hounds into an adult running game, otherwise known as a paper chase (if you are Dutch, think speurtocht). If combining running and socializing with people who don’t take themselves too seriously and exploring different parts of the city or countryside sounds like fun to you, please join us on an upcoming run. Hope you’re not disappointed, but ‘hashing’ has nothing to do with Amsterdam’s infamous “coffeeshops.” We are with non-drinkers and walkers always welcome. Amsterdam Hash House Harriers (AH3) is one of the nearly 2,000 hash ‘kennels’ around the world.
