The Hash House Harriers

The Hash House Harriers is an international social club composed primarily of runners and walkers. Founded in 1938, it combines exercise, camaraderie, and fun through organized trail pursuits that often involve running, walking, and navigating courses marked by trail markers and clues. Participants, called "hashers," enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere, frequently culminating in social events, food, and drinks. The group emphasizes inclusivity, humor, and community bonding rather than competition. It caters to a wide range of fitness levels and ages, fostering friendship and outdoor activity through a unique, light-hearted approach to physical exercise.
