What is 'The Hash'

The Hash House Harriers (commonly abbreviated "HHH" or "H3" and referred to as "the Hash") is a worldwide collection of loosely associated running/walking groups. The Hash is frequently described as "a drinking club with a running problem," The organisation of the HHH is completely decentralized, with chapters allowed to form and disband at any time and in any place.

Individual hashes have their own (often absurd) customs and rituals, but almost all hashes share several major characteristics. A Hash run will consist of running a trail that is not disclosed ahead of time, but rather is marked by some means by a member of the group. This tends to lead to unpredictable and dynamic running/walking trails. At the end of the trail, participants hold a ceremony known as 'down-downs', drinking beer to celebrate the run.

After attending several runs, participants will be given a 'hash name', which is generally based on either sexual innuendo or a specific memorable incident involving the new member.

Hashers will almost always refer to each other by these 'hash names'.
