A Brief History of Hash House Harriers

The Hash House Harriers began in 1938, when a group of British expatriates created a weekly “paper chase” run, marking trails with paper, flour, or chalk and finishing with a meal and drinks. The tradition quickly spread worldwide.

Today, there are over 1,300 Hash House Harriers clubs in more than 130 countries.
New Zealand has 40+ clubs and hosts a national event every two years, NZ Nash Hash, attracting 300–400 participants.
