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.
