For the uninitiated, the Hash House Harriers are a World wide “Drinking Club with a Running Problem”, started in Kuala Lumpur in 1938 by homesick Englishmen.
All cultures, shapes, sizes, ages, sexes and pets are welcome as well as runners, joggers, walkers and others who just prefer to stay in the bar.
A Hare or two lay a trail of flour and chalk, usually cross-country, with checks, check-backs and turn-backs to slow the front runners in the following Pack and allow the slower runners and walkers to catch up. The trail is usually pre-laid but is occasionally “live” and usually finishes where it starts about 1 hour to 1 ½ hours later. There may be a Rambos/Runners and Whimps/Walkers option.
The run is concluded with a Circle at which the Hares are toasted or criticised and the “sinners” are rewarded with “Down-Downs” (usually smallish glasses of beer). An optional OnOn for food and drink usually follows.
