What we’re about
The Hash House Harriers are an international group without any formal rules or organization that was founded in 1938 with tens of thousands of members and groups in most major cities.
It's a social running group (we have many walkers as well!) that focuses on the social element. This is why we welcome slow runners, power walkers, or just plain walkers.
We meet every Thursday and on the first Saturday and third Sunday of the month. Anybody can join by showing up at the designated meeting point of the day.
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 friends. 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 humor, willingness to meet new people, open-mindedness, tolerance 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 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!
Thanksgiving is one year more a hash event!! come and celebrate that one time of year it’s perfectly acceptable to walk around in ‘public’ with your pants undone.
This year it is organized by Just Sophie (kitchen slave) and hared by Premature Cocksucker (Thanksgiving hash) and TBD (Horrors Hash).
The venue is GZ Loogarten. It’s a fun space with plenty of room for us to show off our cooking skills, fill our bellies and hit the dance floor (including an stage to show your performance skills). Dogs are allowed in the venue but the Thanksgiving committee has thought that between the food and loud music we should leave them on the terrace.

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.

What is The Zürich Hash House Horrors?
The Hash House Horrors is based on the regular ZH3 group for parents and kids. Kids follow a trail in flour or chalk with checkpoints and usual trail markings. True Trail is approximately 3km long with playground stops along the way. We always have a playground stop at the end with a circle and kid friendly Hash songs.
