Golden Hash House Harriers - What is it?
 

HASH HOUSE HARRIERS

Hashing is a very friendly “recreational cross-country running/jogging/fast-paced walking for fun” activity. It feels good to get out and do it. This is a totally non-competitive activity and anyone who is willing to try it can have a good time.
Hash House Harriers first were active in Malaysia amongst British and Australian troops during WWII. Today there are groups throughout the world and there are hundreds of groups in the USA. There are at least forty such groups in Florida.
The Hash is based on the game of hounds and hares. Typically two hares plan a route which is marked for the others (the hounds) to follow. The markings, however, include false trails and other diversions. The faster of the hounds end up checking out the various possible trails marked and let the slower participants avoid the incorrect ones. On a well-laid Hash, all participants, fast and slow, finish close together.
If you are interested in taking part, or at least in finding out more about Hash House Harriers, please call Dave or Terri Lewis at 751-2433. An international directory of Hash House Harriers groups can be found at www.gthhh.com.

Re: April Hash
 

Could you give us some information about the organization. It sounds interesting, and I would love to hear more.
