Über uns
The 'Hash House' Harriers are a social running group (although with many walkers) without formal rules or organization. It is international, with thousands of groups in most major cities, the world's largest social running fraternity.
There is a focus on the social element and not taking things too seriously. The group 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 drink (or two). Everyone is welcome.
We meet every Thursday and on the first Saturday 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, 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.
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!

What does the mismanagement do?
*GM - the grand master or mistress of the mismanagement, ensuring that people are suitably hassled to fulfil drunken promises, organising mismanagement meetings and drinking practice. Never drinks alone.
*** RA **- has the weekly responsibility of making sure we have a circle and the burden of providing weather.
*** Beer Raiser **- makes sure that the holy cold beer arrives at each hash.
*** Hash Cash **- takes the money every week and is responsible for making sure we have enough left in our coffers for special events.
*** Hare Raiser **- cajoles hashers into laying trail, updates the hareline and ensures hares are suitably rewarded with carrots.
*** Web Slave **- updates www.zh3.ch and keeps up to date on our emails.
*** Haberdashers (x2) **- organise and sell our ZH3 hash gear.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.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ END OF AGM DETAILS /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/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.

Outstation: Silvesterlauf - Run for Fun 2026
Bellevueplatz, Bellevuepl., Zürich, ZH, CHRegistration form: https://forms.gle/WuftegcUxrMEV5SE7
The Zurich Silvesterlauf loads of fun and we're organising to jog/walk the Run for Fun (6.8 Km) which starts at 18:40pm. Let’s meet at the Bellevue tram stop at 17:00 to wander over by 18:00.
This year the plan is (again) to be dressed in the same theme, and do the fun "run" as a group competing for an award (which I hope this time it will be gold). Afterwards we can enjoy some Glühwein at one of the markets in the center. There’s a bag drop at Bürkliplatz if you need it (it does cost CHF 2 - non-refundable), please use it before meeting us at Bellevue. If you’re in the group entry I’ll have your race number and I'll handle it to you. Bring pins or something to attach it :)
Payment details at the end of the form.
Let's target to close the rego on the 15th of October.Event website: https://www.silvesterlauf.ch/
