INTRODUCTION
"A drinking group with a running problem..."

Hashing is a non-competitive cross country run through varied terrain. Hashers follow a trail set by "hares". The FRB's (front running bastards) get to find the trail; so the BOP's (back of the pack) don't run nearly as far. Hashing is to competitive running what slo-pitch is to major league baseball. If you enjoy good times and a few (or many, many) cold beers you're hasher material.

Hashing has a colourful history. In 1938, British ex-pats founded the "Mother Hash" in Kuala Lumpur. Today there are thousands of hashes around the world. You will find at least one hash in pretty much every major city on the planet.

One harrier (the hare) lays a trail of flour over a course (s)he chooses. The other harriers (the hounds) try to follow that trail to the end where they enjoy munchies and beer (or soft drinks). The typical hash is 3-5 miles over hill and dale, through suburbs, woods, malls, et al. The hash isn't a race, there are no prizes to the swift. Following the trail is the challenge, camaraderie and beverages are the rewards. MORE IN-DEPTH INFO @ Hash House Harriers
