The Hash House
Harriers are known as "A Drinking Club With
A Running Problem".
Goals of the Hash From the 1938 charter of the Hash
House Harriers Kuala Lumpur
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
Additional Goals
of
the H3 Space Coast
To promote a
bi-weekly hash in the
traditions of the original hash
To hold a hash that all feel
welcomed
To maintain and sustain a viable
loosely organized hash
To drink beer - occasionally,
good beer
To always remember that we are a
drinking club with a running problem
The Hash is based on an old English school yard game called the "hare and the hounds".
Here's how it works: One or more 'hares' (really just
people) set out running,
leaving behind a trail of flour, chalk, or toilet paper.
Fifteen minutes later, the pack
of 'hounds' (more people) set out, tracking
the marks in hopes of catching up to, and
snagging the hares.
The hares leave their marks clearly, but cleverly, so as to try and
outwit the pack.
This is done by leaving false trails and by arranging for beer stops
along the way.
Competitive running is strongly discouraged, as this is not
a race, but more of a
game that we play before we drink. Many of the Hashers walk the
entire trek.
The distance of the trail varies depending on the hares personal preference.
The run can be anywhere from 3 miles to as long as 6 miles.
At the end of the trail, this
group of lunatics (and you can be one of us)
will form a fraternal circle,
sing drinking songs and come up with excuses for,
and
encouraging their comrades to chug beer...
...like we need a reason!
"If You Have Half A Mind To Hash, That's All You
Need!"
