The Hash House Harriers (also called the HHH or H3) is an international social, non-competitive running club. Hashers frequently describe themselves as 'a drinking club with a running problem', and the social element of hashing is of equal importance to the running. The seriousness of the running and of the drinking varies with each club (also referred to as a Kennel). Some Kennels focus on running while other focus on drinking. The length and difficulty of runs varies accordingly between each Kennel.
The idea for a hash run is loosely based on hare hunting. One or more hashers (the "hares") lay out a running trail, that the rest of the club (pack or 'hounds') follows. The trail may include false trails (check-backs or CB), short cuts (or splits), breaks, and checks (a marking on the trail that requires the pack to search the area to discover the correct direction of the trail. These features are designed to keep the pack together regardless of fitness levels or running speed.
The organization of the Hash House Harriers is decentralized, with chapters (also called kennels). There are more than 1700 kennels with at least one Hash in most major cities in the world. Most hashes gather regularly scheduled basis, with some occurring only sporadically, i.e. on Leap Year days, or Friday the 13th, when that occurs.

“Thank you so much for all of your hard work :) I am truly happy in Daejeon. My schools are amazing, and I honestly couldn't ask for more. I really appreciate all of the work that went into me being apart of Daejeon MOE. Based on the circumstances, it was pretty difficult managing things, and I am happy we were all able to make it work together.”
