The Shanghai Hash House Harriers began in 1986. We’re a mixed hash (meaning all genders and sexes are welcome) that runs walks or hobbles every Sunday come rainstorm, snowstorm, beerstorm, sandstorm, etc. Attendance varies from 4-60 people, but typically is around 20-30. Really though, who cares?

There are those “Type A” hashers who delight in running 5-12 km trails on Sunday afternoon after having run their half marathon training earlier in the morning. Then there are those hashers who just like to have an afternoon walk and a beer and food.

You need to bring a sense of humor, a willingness to get dirty, and a change of clothes. There will be water and beer provided for you, as well as some food at the end

What is a Hashing Club?

Hashing is a version of running similar to the hare and hounds with some drinking 

(optional) involved. Typically referred to a drinking club with a running problem, 

The objectives of the Hash House Harriers as recorded on the club registration card dated 1950 are: To promote physical fitness among our members. To get rid of weekend hangovers. To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer.

There are over 2,000 Hash House Harrier groups worldwide. These groups are often referred to as “kennels” and can be found in various cities and countries. The Hash House Harriers website (https://www.gthhh.com/) provides a directory of these groups and their contact information.

In 1938, a group of nine British officers in Kuala Lumpur started going for weekly runs to shake off their weekend hangovers. They didn’t have any grand ambitions, but the small group — known as the Hash House Harriers — evolved into one of the world’s biggest running collectives.

Hashing is an exhilaratingly fun combination of running, orienteering, and partying, where bands of Harriers and Harriettes chase Hares on eight-to-fifteen kilometer-long trails through town, country, jungle, and desert, all in search of exercise, camaraderie, and good times

In a paper-chase, two ‘hares’ lay a trail of paper over the country, and the pack of ‘hounds’ try to catch up with them. Although this sport soon developed into cross country as we know it today, the earliest such clubs called themselves ‘Hare and Hounds’ or ‘Harriers’, and still do.

They’re markings for a Hash trail. Each Hash has its own version of the markings used to show the Trail. Some are common to most Hashes, others are unique to each Hash. We use flour for the majority of our runs as it’s easily seen (especially at night) and bio-degradable.
