"A Drinking Club With A Running Problem"

The Hash House Harriers were founded in 1938 (70 years ago) in Kuala Lumpur. 

Simply, a Hash is usually a mix of men and women who get together to follow a crazy trail, drink beer, and socialize (but not always in that order). Each "running trail" is unique, unpredictable, occasionally messy, but always fun. The trail  is set by a hash member who gets 15 minutes head start and throws flour for the pack to follow. The "pack" figures out clues (this last clue is my personal favorite) to keep them on trail and the incentive to figure it out is you get beersomewhere near the half way point. Yeahhhhh!

Whether you are a fast or slow runner doesn't matter. Many people even walk a trail. Its really about getting out to have fun. (We even hash during rainy storms because some of us are hardcore nut-balls sometimes). Hence, "A Drinking Club With A Running Problem" has become our motto. (Are you still with me?)

Since 1938 the group has expanded to 2000 "kennels" worldwide. Hash Groups "Run" at various times during the month. Some groups go once a month and some 3 times a week, just depends on the group you show up to. The key is, no matter where you go on this planet, you can always find fun hashers getting together to blow off some steam and have a good time. 

This NorCal '08 Event will be attended by Hashers from all over California and even some from other states. Join in your local Hash and see what fun you can have and then join us for our big event. Last year 112 wankers signed up and 21 of them were newbies. All who had a great time.

What does a hash cost? Generally, the first local hash is free. Each time after is about $5.00-$7.00. Now where can you drink beer and have a better time for $5.00?
