WHY AM I DOING THIS?
Like many expats, the Brits like to stick together when they’re abroad. One way is through clubs and organisations. And one of the most famous ex-pat organisations is the world’s most eccentric running club: the Hash House Harriers.
So, what is the Hash House Harriers? Very basically, it's a running and social club. Runs are organised, which are followed by a trip to a bar or pub afterwards for a social get-together. The run is a fun event. A group of people known as the “hares” laya trail (often using bits of paper, or biodegradable material such as flour). The “pack” (or “hounds” as they're also known) are the runners. They must follow the trail and try to get to the end. Sounds easy? It can be, but it can also be difficult as the hares may also lay a false trail. In some competitions, the hares leave a few minutes before the hounds and one of the objectives is to catch the hares before they lay the trail.
