Hashing began in [[Kuala Lumpur]], [[Malaysia]], in [[1938]], when a group of British colonial officials and expatriates, led by a British accountant [[Alberto Esteban Ignacio Gispert|A.S Gispert]], founded the orignal Hash House Harriers. As bachelors, they were housed in the Selangor Club Annex- known locally as the "Hash House" because of its monotonous food. After running for some months they were approached by the Registrar of Societies, who advised them that they would require a Constitution (the aims of which are reproduced below) and a name. A.S. Gispert (known as "G") suggested the name. Hash House Harrier runs were patterned after the traditional British paper chase. A ''[[hare]]'' was given a head start to blaze a trail, marking his way with shreds of paper, all the while pursued by a shouting pack of "harriers." Apart from the excitement of chasing the hare and solving the clues, upon reaching the end the thirsty harriers would find a tub of iced [[beer]]. |

Hashing died out during [[World War II]],but started again shortly after the war, when the original protagonists, minus "G" who had been killed in the Japanese invasion of Singapore, re-assembled in Kuala Lumpur. Hashing took off in [[1962]], when [[Ian Cumming]] founded a 2nd chapter in [[Singapore]]. From then on, the phenomenon started to grow, spreading through the [[Far East]], [[Australia]], and [[New Zealand]], as well as [[Europe]] and [[North America]]. |
||
By the end of the [[20th century]], there were thousands of Hash House Harrier clubs in all parts of the world, with newsletters, directories, and even regional and world hashing conventions. This boom is owed largely to the power of the [[Internet]] to provide timely and accurate information on kennels and their events and points of contact. As of [[2003]], there are two organized HHH groups in [[Antarctica]].<ref>[http://half-mind.com/Hashing/who.htm#2 Flying Booger's Hash Primer]</ref> |

A typical "hash" is a loosely-organized group of 20-100 men and women (aka Harriers and Harriettes) who meet weekly or bi-weekly to chase the hare (the person(s) leading the trail who leaves the appropriate marks on the ground, trees etc. for the pack to follow). Not all groups are co-ed, though, and some chapters have over 100 hashers at an event. While strips of paper have previously been used to mark trail, it has generally been replaced with flour or chalk and toilet paper sometimes used in off-road areas. Any mark used to set a trail is called a 'hash mark'. Trails are usually laid after the hare gets the head start (often 5-10 minutes) from the pack in what is called a 'live trail', though it can be laid in advance of the run for a 'dead trail'. There may be one or more beer stops (aka, checks), along the way with the hare either pre-caching a cooler of beer, or having the trail go to a prearranged meeting spot with a beer truck. The intent of the pack is to attempt to catch the 'hare' before they finish the trail and get to the end. |

To make the run interesting, the hare can set the trail through literally any kind of terrain. The trails can go through residential areas, forests, or swamps with anything off-road generally called 'shiggy'. The pack never knows where a trail will go or where it may lead and are often advised to bring a change of clothes and shoes to be used after the trail is complete. Hashers may run through streets, back alleyways, or shopping malls, ford streams, climb fences, explore storm drains, run through jungles or scale cliffs. |
||
At trail's end hashers gather to drink beer and observe ritualized ceremonies. Traditions and the degree of rowdiness vary from hash to hash, but in general the "Circle" consists of awarding "Down-Downs" (See below) for real or blatantly made up "crimes". Generally all chapters include the singing of drinking songs as would be heard in an old pub, rugby match or fraternity party. At the conclusion the hashers head to the 'On-After' which may consist of a nearby restaurant or pub for grub and libations with which to wash it down. |
|||
Often the hare will employ several tricks in attempts to slow the pack and even generally try to keep a pack consisting of runners and walkers together. The hare may mark an intersection generally called a 'check' that signifies that the trail continues within a 360 degree area from that point. Several false trails may lead from that check and it is up to the front runners to 'solve' the trail by going out and determining what might actually be the correct path, or 'true trail'. Once the true way has been determined then that runner may mark the check to indicate the proper direction so that anyone to come up it later (such as the walker, other runners, or anyone arriving late) will not have to figure it out all over again. The pack will generally carry whistles, horns, or other audible means of communicating in order to assist each other on trail and keep from getting lost. A member of the pack calling out 'Are you?' means to know if another individual is searching for the true trail, typically near a check (or intersection), or is on the correct path. Someone will typically call out either 'Checking!' to indicate that they are looking for the trail or 'On-On', or blow their whistle or horn three times, to signify that they are on the true trail and that the pack should follow them. |
|||
A false trail may be marked one of several ways including a 'bad trail' mark consisting of three parallel lines, a mark of 'YBF' (short for 'You've been fooled' or 'You've been F**ked'), or a mark of 'CB #' (Count back with some number). The first two marks indicate that the runner must return to the most recent check point and then attempt to find the trail again. The 'count back' would mean that the runner must count back the indicated number of hash marks and then use that point to look for the next hash mark that might be hidden behind a tree, light pole, car tire, etc. An arrow on the ground with three parallel lines through it is known as a 'true trail arrow' and signifies to the pack that they are on the real trail and are not following some fake or bad trail. Other signs used might include a 'BN' that means there is a beer stop nearby, 'BS' signifying that the runner is now at the beer stop and should either look for the stashed beverages nearby or wait for the beer truck to arrive (depending on the instructions given by the hare before the start of trail), or 'HH' that is a 'hash halt' command that tells the runners that they must wait until at least the first of the walkers show up so that the hare might have a bit more time to get ahead. Every Hash has it's own set of marks and even names for these marks, Hashers visiting another pack should check the local signs before the run. |
|||
At trail's end hashers gather to drink beer and observe so-called religious ceremonies, the 'Circle', which consists of drinking more beer; this time ritualistically. Circles may be led by the hash Grandmaster, the group's Religious Adviser, or by a committee of mismanagement. Traditions and the degree of rowdiness vary from hash to hash, but in general the Circle consists of awarding "Down-Downs" for misdemeanors real, imagined, or blatantly made up, and the recipients will most likely have been dobbed in by their fellow hashers. Generally all the activities will include some level of singing of what are best describe as drinking songs as would be heard in an old pub, rugby match, fraternity party, or other such social gathering. At the conclusion of the 'Circle', the hashers head to the 'On-After' which may consist of a nearby restaurant or pub for grub and libations with which to wash it down. This is the social part of the hash, and the party usually will last from one hour to several hours, as they tell stories, have fun, and enjoy everyone's company. |

There are said to be no rules in hashing, however traditions have developed where "violations" of "traditions" invoke a punishment by way of a 'down-down'. Upon being called to do a 'down-down' the "accused" must come to the middle of the circle and drink everything that they have in their cup or other drinking device. Typically there are no new shoes allowed on the hash trail whereas being caught in a pair of new shoes may require that one drinks from the offending shoe as penance. Other traditions include a prohibition of pointing with fingers or the use of real names while around other hashers. |
||
Another unique aspect of hashing is the use of names as assigned by the group. Someone may be given a hash name after a specified number of hashes attended (e.g. 5), after they hare their first trail, or after they do something the pack deems noteworthy. Before a naming, the group may ask a series of questions that can range from occupation, most embarrassing moment, personal preferences, stories, or experiences. Many suggestions may be made with the final name being chosen by vote with, more often than not,some humorous or debaucherous concoction being used. |
|||
In a few areas, bicycle hashes, BASHes, have been formed, based loosely on same principles, but often without the ceremonial aspects. In some countries there are Kids Hashes for those under 16. |
|||
The Hash is frequently described as "a club for drinkers with a running problem," often when recruiting participants for hastily arranged group runs that tour local [[pub]]s and drinking venues. |
|||
The symbol of a hash is the outline of the foot, with often the words 'On-On' written upon it. |

== Special events == |
|||
Sometimes a kennel will conduct a special event in place of a normal hash, that can consist of anything from a house party, camp out, or [[pub crawl]]. One of the most famous events is known as the '[http://gotothehash.net/reddress/ Red Dress Run]' and is held by most local chapters once a year. This tradition began in [http://www.sdh3.com/ San Diego] when a virgin (new) hasher showed up for a run wearing a red dress (having been ill informed of what to expect). When she next returned, other hashers decided to wear a red dress as a joke; with it soon becoming an annual event and eventually spreading across the nation. During this event, which can be either a normal hash run or a simple pub crawl, everyone (yes, guys too) is to wear something red and dress-like, not specifically just a red dress. The idea is to just get crazy and have fun with ideas ranging from red body latex paint, to red duct tape, red sarongs, or a normal lovely summer dress with all extremes being pretty well accepted. Hashers can usually be found digging through the racks at the local thrift stores a short time before the event. This is typically the largest event of the year for any kennel (local hash group) with previous attendance numbers can be up to 2,000 (as seen in San Diego for a couple of years) to 500-600 in places such as Washington DC or New Orleans every year. |
|||
Other variations of a theme can be see as kennels might also host a green dress run (often held around St. Patrick's day), lingerie hash, or even a clown hash where everyone wears the appropriate themed outfit for the run or pub crawl. |
|||
== Goals == |
|||
The goals of hashing, from a 1950 club registration card for the Hash House Harriers in Kuala Lumpur are: |
|||
*To promote physical fitness among our members |
|||
*To get rid of weekend hangovers |
|||
*To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer |
|||
*To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel |

After the 2001 Anthrax attacks in the United States and the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] on the World Trade Center, several hashes, particularly those in the [[Washington, D.C.]] area, were approached by anti-terrorist agents concerned about the strange white powder (flour) used to mark the hash trail. As a result, those hashes have had to change their trail-marking techniques to use shredded paper, colored chalk, or paint. Hashers went back to flour off road in the [[Boston, Massachusetts]] area, and around [[Frederick, Maryland]], the very home of American [[anthrax]]. In Tokyo the hare on a Harriettes run was bundled in to a big black car by plain clothes officers. Several hours later he was found with a broom and pan sweeping up all the flour while guarded by two police officers. |

The Hash House Harriers (the original "drinking club with a running problem") is an international drinking/running club founded in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The overriding purpose of the Hash House Harriers is:
- To promote physical fitness among our members
- To get rid of weekend hangovers
- To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer
- To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel
The template for a "hash run" is for one runner to lay a trail, for the rest of the members to try follow, to a cache of beer.
The organization is completely decentralized, with chapters allowed to form and disband at any time and in any place. It has more than 1700 groups, with at least one Hash in virtually every major city in the world.
History
Hashing began in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1938, when a group of British colonial officials and expatriates, led by a British accountant A.S Gispert, founded the orignal Hash House Harriers. As bachelors, they were housed in the Selangor Club Annex- known locally as the "Hash House" because of its monotonous food. After running for some months they were approached by the Registrar of Societies, who advised them that they would require a Constitution (the aims of which are reproduced below) and a name. A.S. Gispert (known as "G") suggested the name. Hash House Harrier runs were patterned after the traditional British paper chase. A hare was given a head start to blaze a trail, marking his way with shreds of paper, all the while pursued by a shouting pack of "harriers." Apart from the excitement of chasing the hare and solving the clues, upon reaching the end the thirsty harriers would find a tub of iced beer.
Hashing died out during World War II,but started again shortly after the war, when the original protagonists, minus "G" who had been killed in the Japanese invasion of Singapore, re-assembled in Kuala Lumpur. Hashing took off in 1962, when Ian Cumming founded a 2nd chapter in Singapore. From then on, the phenomenon started to grow, spreading through the Far East, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as Europe and North America.
By the end of the 20th century, there were thousands of Hash House Harrier clubs in all parts of the world. This boom is owed largely to the power of the Internet to provide timely and accurate information on events and points of contact.
How it is done
A typical "hash" is a loosely-organized group of 20-100 men and women (aka Harriers and Harriettes) who meet weekly or bi-weekly to chase the hare (the person(s) leading the trail who leaves the appropriate marks on the ground, trees etc. for the pack to follow). Not all groups are co-ed, though, and some chapters have over 100 hashers at an event. While strips of paper have previously been used to mark trail, it has generally been replaced with flour or chalk and toilet paper sometimes used in off-road areas. Any mark used to set a trail is called a 'hash mark'. Trails are usually laid after the hare gets the head start (often 5-10 minutes) from the pack in what is called a 'live trail', though it can be laid in advance of the run for a 'dead trail'. There may be one or more beer stops (aka, checks), along the way with the hare either pre-caching a cooler of beer, or having the trail go to a prearranged meeting spot with a beer truck. The intent of the pack is to attempt to catch the 'hare' before they finish the trail and get to the end.
To make the run interesting, the hare can set the trail through literally any kind of terrain. The trails can go through residential areas, forests, or swamps with anything off-road generally called 'shiggy'. The pack never knows where a trail will go or where it may lead and are often advised to bring a change of clothes and shoes to be used after the trail is complete. Hashers may run through streets, back alleyways, or shopping malls, ford streams, climb fences, explore storm drains, run through jungles or scale cliffs.
At trail's end hashers gather to drink beer and observe ritualized ceremonies. Traditions and the degree of rowdiness vary from hash to hash, but in general the "Circle" consists of awarding "Down-Downs" (See below) for real or blatantly made up "crimes". Generally all chapters include the singing of drinking songs as would be heard in an old pub, rugby match or fraternity party. At the conclusion the hashers head to the 'On-After' which may consist of a nearby restaurant or pub for grub and libations with which to wash it down.
Traditions and naming convention
There are said to be no rules in hashing, however traditions have developed where "violations" of "traditions" invoke a punishment by way of a 'down-down'. Upon being called to do a 'down-down' the "accused" must come to the middle of the circle and drink everything that they have in their cup or other drinking device. Typically there are no new shoes allowed on the hash trail whereas being caught in a pair of new shoes may require that one drinks from the offending shoe as penance. Other traditions include a prohibition of pointing with fingers or the use of real names while around other hashers.
Another unique aspect of hashing is the use of names as assigned by the group. Someone may be given a hash name after a specified number of hashes attended (e.g. 5), after they hare their first trail, or after they do something the pack deems noteworthy. Before a naming, the group may ask a series of questions that can range from occupation, most embarrassing moment, personal preferences, stories, or experiences. Many suggestions may be made with the final name being chosen by vote with, more often than not,some humorous or debaucherous concoction being used.

Impact of the 9/11 attacks
After the 2001 Anthrax attacks in the United States and the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, several hashes, particularly those in the Washington, D.C. area, were approached by anti-terrorist agents concerned about the strange white powder (flour) used to mark the hash trail. As a result, those hashes have had to change their trail-marking techniques to use shredded paper, colored chalk, or paint. Hashers went back to flour off road in the Boston, Massachusetts area, and around Frederick, Maryland, the very home of American anthrax. In Tokyo the hare on a Harriettes run was bundled in to a big black car by plain clothes officers. Several hours later he was found with a broom and pan sweeping up all the flour while guarded by two police officers. Typical of the irreverence that characterizes much of the humor of the Hash, some Hashes even went so far as to exploit the scare. The Saipan Hash, for example, set its annual Halloween costume run following the anthrax scare in 2001 with flour thrown from bio-hazard bags, while the hares wore full hazmat gear, running through the center of the island's tourist district. Police in most areas have lttle knowledge of the Hash and many kennels recommend that the hare call the local police before the run as a courtesy.
