Welcome to the Hursley Hash House Harriers Website.
Hursley H3 is a running club based upon the "Hash House Harriers"; a world-wide group formed in Singapore in 1938.We run in Hampshire and the New Forest on Sunday mornings starting at 11am. We follow trails of flour or sawdust for about 5-7 miles, usually including some mud and if possible water.... depending 0n the Hare(s). The Hares lay the trail and usually delight in watching the rest of us attempt to find our way back to the pub at the finish!
Hursley was formed by Mudlark and More (Mrs. Mudlark) in the 1990's and in July we celebrated our 1000th run.
Based upon the old style Hare and Hounds, Hashing is a cross country run of around 5 - 7 miles using a trail of flour set by one or two people beforehand, known as "Hares".
The rest of the runners then attempt to follow the trail trying to find their way home. This group or searchers are known as the "Hounds".
Young and old can take part, you run (or walk!) at your own pace.
We start and end at a pub, or sometimes an Indian, and after we have worked up a thirst we all sit around for some friendly banter and usually extract the Micheal out of each other.
It's a fun activity, and not to be taken at all seriously. We certainly don't.........
Newcomers are always welcome including well behaved dogs and children on leads! Full details of upcoming runs can be found by clicking on the Next Runs link.
Hope to see you soon - On, On.......
