"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 beer somewhere
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?
