Hashing has a colourful history. In 1938, the "Mother Hash" was started by British ex-pats in Kuala Lampur. Today there are thousands of hashes around the world. You will find at least one hash in almost any major city.

Hashing is a non-competitive, cross country run through varied terrain. Hashers follow a trail set by "hares". The FRB's or FROP'S get to find the trail; so the BOP's and SCB's don't run nearly as far. Hashing is to competitive running what slo-pitch is to major league baseball. If you enjoy good times and a few (or many, many) cold beers you're hasher material.

The Calgary Hash House Harriers usually meet somewhere in Calgary on Monday night at 7:00 PM. There is also a Full Moon Hash which, oddly enough, runs once a month under the light of the full moon. Just to keep things interesting, there are sometimes hash runs on other nights as well as special events.

Just show up at our next run (listed below). If you have half a mind to join us... that's all you need.
