What is hashing?

Hashing is fun-running based on a "hare and hounds" trail which caters for all abilities.

The hare sets a trail in chalk and flour, including false trails, loops and checkpoints, which help to slow the front runners down while they look for the next bit of trail, thus allowing the slower runners to catch up. The distance is usually about 4 to 5 miles, lasting just over an hour.

We always start and finish at a pub, with a trail being set to the pub (marked with the letter "P" in chalk) from the nearest tube or main line station. The run is always followed by plenty of beer drinking.

We will be easy to spot in the pub - a mixture of people of wildly varying fitness all dressed in runnning gear, addressing each other by odd nicknames. Just turn up and ask for one of the committee members, and we'll look after you. Why not check out where we are running in the near future > check the hareline <

If you don't believe this twaddle then maybe you'll believe the pseudo-experts at wiki "check it out"
