WHAT IS THIS HASHING THING?

The Hash House Harriers (HHH or H3) is an international group of non-competitive running social clubs. An event organized by a club is known as a Hash or Run, or a Hash Run. A common denominal verb for this activity is Hashing, with participants calling themselves Hashers. The Hash is humorously known as 'A Drinking Club With A Running Problem', with the preferred beverage of consumption being beer.

To Summarize, the objectives of the Hash House Harriers as recorded on the club registration card dated 1950 are:

• To promote physical fitness among our members

• To get rid of weekend hangovers

• To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer

• To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel
