Brief summary of the Hash:

The HHH (Hash House Harriers) is an international, social, non-competitive running group; which originated in Kuala Lumpur in 1938.  At a hash run the “hare” (or rabbit) starts the run before everyone else and sets a trail, which all the other runners (the “pack” or “hounds”) have to follow.   The trail may go anywhere and is marked with flour or shredded paper.  The pack must follow this trail, which may include false trails, short cuts, dead ends, and splits.  These features are designed to keep the pack together despite differences in fitness level or running speed, as the fastest runners (front-runners) are forced to slow down to find the “true” trail, allowing stragglers to catch up.
