What is a Hash Run?

The Hash House Harriers is an international group of running/social clubs that humorously refers to themselves as a drinking club with a running problem, which may sound familiar to many of us (just kidding). An event is known as a Hash or a Hash Run and it starts with a member laying out a trail for the remainder of the group to follow. Runners, called Harriers, follow the trail of single arrows occasionally arriving at a spot that has two diverging arrows, one of which will end about a quarter mile down that trail and requires a return to the intersection to follow the other arrow. Today these events usually end up at a bar, pub, or a cooler in a parking lot, but the original finish line was the Hash House hotel/restaurant where British soldiers, who founded this event to stay fit, lived while stationed in Malaysia in the 1930s.

Huntington Hash Run #003 - 5/8/2025

Hash start: Huntington Post Office

On in: Finley’s, Huntington

Distance: 4.5 - 5.0 miles

False trails: 2 + Eagle/Chicken route option

Route: Huntington Hash #003 route

Thursday, May 8th, Kieran Hooks conducted our third “Hash House Run” in Huntington. The run started out in front of the Huntington Village Post Office, was about 4.5 or so miles in length and ended at the Finley’s as the Hare (Kieran Hooks) left trail leads around town including two false trails. This hash run upped the ante significantly, moving beyond the remedial and obvious with genuinely challenging trail finding and hill climbs.
