A Brief History of Hashing

1938 - The Beginning
The Hash House Harriers was founded by British expats living and working in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Named after their meeting place, the Selangor Club, otherwise known as the "Hash House". Hashing is based upon the British public school paper chase.
2
1960s - Global Spread
Hashing expanded worldwide as former Malaysian Hashers established new chapters across continents.

Today - Thousands Strong
Over 2,000 Hash chapters globally.

Hash Culture & Community
More Than Just Running
Hash House Harriers blend fitness with social connection. Expect unique traditions, silly names, and lifelong friendships.
"A drinking club with a running problem"
Every hasher gets a trail name earned through memorable moments or mishaps.
Hashing Anthems & Traditions
Hasher songs are a cornerstone of our vibrant culture, filled with irreverent humor and camaraderie. They are often sung during down-downs and reflect the light-hearted, sometimes mischievous spirit of the pack. These traditional chants and ditties contribute to the unique social fabric of the Hash House Harriers, making every event a memorable experience.
Many songs celebrate the joy of running (and drinking!) and are satirically provocative, intended for the specific context of hashing gatherings. They are a way to bond, share laughs, and maintain Hashing traditions.
Join a global community that values fun over speed, friendship over competition.
Hash#918 The Annual New Years Day (Polar Bear Swim)
Oh its large shoes that I step into, Sir My Cocks a'Fallen has scribed in tremendous fashion for many a hash. I tip my hat to your cock sir.
On with the Hash itself. A solid A to B trail, starting at Wildplay Colwood and winding through the lush Royal Roads campus with a customary stop for a full body search of the Penis Treat Tree. The treats were non alcoholic which pleased few of the assembled hashers (the exception being Mick Jammer). The trail culminated with a tot of Southern Comfort on the shores of the chilly but calm Esquimalt Lagoon. As Stoolie pondered the seascape "this is rather nice". And indeed it was.
Circle up took place in the luxurious surroundings of Mucksucker's bat cave of a garage. With a notable charge to Deep Shit for his outrageous "court jester" pantaloons, good god man.
The pot luck which followed was excellent (Mick and I contributing absolutely nothing it should be noted). Yet it must be mentioned, a dearth of polar bears this year, something to do with a broken hot tub? Can the hash help raise the funds for Muck to get it up and running again for next year?

Hash#919 The Well Sung Run (Jan 21st)
My thanks to Goes Down Well for supplying details for this Hash.
First things first, it wasn't raining. Conditions were sunny and pleasant in Haight Ashbury North (James Bay). Question is why couldn't I be arsed to go?
Moving on.
The trail wined and dined, twisted and turned through many a James Bay sidewalk. It included a KC (Kubassa Ukraine Sausage Check). A VC (Vodka Check) on Steve Fonyo Beach. Yet despite being well marked, two FRB's missed this lovely orangey alcohol flavored pit stop, deciding to "hare" on ahead to the beer check, where they cooled their heels with no beer in sight. All I have to say to them is that the meek shall inherit the Absolut Mandarin.
Edelweiss was sung at Edelweiss house, before all gathered in Weenies roof top Tiki bar, strike that, Weenies freezin' cold courtyard, for religion. Hash scribes were unable to attend for a reading of charges, please connect with yours truly for charges to be added to this write up. A bakers half dozen then repaired to the Bent Mast for a Bent Mass.
