| Hashing
has been described as a drinking club with a running
problem. More specifically, it’s social jogging for
the unfit, slightly fit and nearly fit. Runs are
typically between four and six miles, and are laid, in
advance, by one or more HARES, usually following country
footpaths or lanes or, if not, with the permission of
local landowners. There are CHECKS, every half mile, or
less, where better runners can run further in
endeavouring to find the correct path, and lesser runners
can have a rest. HASHING IS NOT A RACE, the aim is that,
because of the CHECKS and various FALSE TRAILS, all the
runners, from the fit to the walkers, finish at about the
same time. Runs usually start and end at a pub, and it is
customary for HASHERS, after the run, to take full
advantage of the facilities offered. Dress is usually
scruffy running gear (trainers, shorts/tracksuit, T-shirt)
- don't dress up, it can be muddy. Bring spare shoes,
jeans, etc. for pub afterwards. If you’d like to try Hashing, just turn up at one of the forthcoming runs or, for confirmation of venue, to arrange a lift or for any other details, get in touch with one of the contacts contained in this site. We welcome women, men, children of about ten years plus, dogs, mums, dads, grand-parents. Of any sexual orientation. Or none. From any country, politics, religion, creed, etc. Basically, we’ll take anybody! Cheers |
