Über uns
The 'Hash House' Harriers are a social running group (although with many walkers) without any formal rules or organization. It is international with thousands of groups in most major cities.
The focuses on the social element and not taking things too seriously. The reality is, it means different things to different people – from getting in a decent (and interesting) run, to walking a dog, or simply getting outside and having a beer (or two). Everyone is welcome.
We meet every Thursday, and on the first Saturday and third Sunday of the month. Each week, someone different hosts (so it's always a little different in venue, route, theme and start point). Anybody can join by showing up at the designated meeting point.
We urge you to join. If you have questions, just turn up and ask them.
We aim to bring together people who want to socialise, enjoy nonsense and have a bit of exercise at the same time. It's a great forum to meet new people (and have the option to run away from anyone boring!). There are all shapes & sizes, races, ages, intelligence and fitness levels.
We cater to young and old, fast or slow, fit or 'not-so-fit'! The main prerequisites are a sense of humour, open-mindedness and a general sense of fun. We are mainly English-speaking but most of us can speak (some) German.. the annoyingly clever Swiss members are typically fluent in many languages!
There is always alcohol (which is part of the 'hash' tradition) and snacks at the end of our poor excuses for runs (covered by 5CHF), along with non-alcoholic alternatives for the real athletes and those who just prefer not to.
Plenty more information can be found on www.zh3.ch and on the Meetup information page or each event (which usually has a loose theme, but are all pretty similar, involving following/finding trail (the route) using markings on the ground).
If we do not accept your Meetup request immediately, give us some time, we will be on-on it shortly. Don't be afraid to just turn up and complain in person if this happens to you. You will be more than welcome.
Any questions? (how would you like my finger in your ear?). If that amuses you even slightly, you will fit in perfectly!
The hares are Premature Cocksucker and Squatty Potty.
Bag-drop and on-out at The AleHouse.

Vote: Because Complaining to other hashers isn’t enough
Let’s face it — voting might not be as exciting as bitching... but it is how we run the hash.
Better still, you can actually do something! At least come and drink/run/vote.
Be the change. Or at least be the voter.
The hash is weird enough. Let’s at least choose who makes it weirder.

#### Grand Master

What does the mismanagement do?

We meet roughly 4 times per year.
Process on the night:
Voting will take place BEFORE the hash (while we still have some sober judgement) and results will be announced during circle, so please come a bit early to allow for the additional blah blah...
When you arrive you will be issued with a voting slip on which will be the position and the name of the contenders (there will not be a vote for non-contested positions).
There will be a container for the voting slips - please put your votes in it and then make room for other voters.
The person with the most votes gets the position.
If there is a tie, there will be a live run-off vote between those two candidate.

Meet at 6:45pm to start at 7:00pm. There will be a charge of CHF5.00 for participating.
Here's what you need to know about the Hash:
• The aim of the hash is to find the beer stop at the end and have fun.
• "True" trail is typically 6-7km.
• The pace within the group varies from dead-slow movers (we call them DFLs) to over-achieving fast runners (we call them FRBs)
• The "hare" cleverly lays the trail so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• If you are a slow runner, you will clock around 7kms.
• If you are a quick runner you will clock around 10kms.
• If you are a walker you will be dedicated to the cause, ignore trail and take the shortest route possible to get to the beer.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and often a place to change.
• There is a charge of CHF5 for participating (and includes beer and snacks).
• If you like fun, drinking and doing something a bit different you will probably enjoy hashing. Humourless people need not apply.

- ZH3 Hash # 1676: October ArrivedOrt benötigt
Ice Footsie withh hare (set the route) -
Where:
See location. Look for English speakers wearing running gear.When:
We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm.
There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.All Welcome:
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful.
• The aim is to find the 'Beer Stop' at the end of the 'trail' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The 'Hare', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• After Trail, we group for ~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This 'Circle' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards.Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it.'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (Hashes) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - or you can just come along and find out. See you there.
We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.
