Do you like running? How about drinking beer? Combine these two activities with a little fun, frivolity, madness, and mayhem. Then remove all sense of seriousness, competition, and political correctness. What you get is the "sport" of hashing. To truly understand hashing, you'll have to enjoy a hash run in person. New hashers (hash-virgins) are always welcome!

The Hash House Harriers is a decentralized organization, with each chapter (sometimes called a Kennel) individually managed with no uniting organizational hierarchy. A kennel's management is typically known as the MisManagement and consists of individuals with various duties and titles, such as Grand Moron or Religious Adviser. There are more than 1,700 kennels spanning all seven continents. Most major cities are home to at least one kennel, with some areas boasting more than ten groups. Kennels typically contain 20-100 members, usually co-ed, and some metropolitan area Hashes can draw more than 1,000 Hashers to an event.
