The Bay City Hash House Harriers

If you're like others, you might be asking; Who the hell are the Bay City Hash House Harriers? For a short description, we are "A drinking club with a running problem". Sounds fun, right?

Bay City Hash House HarriersWell it is. Usually, two people volunteer to "hare" the run. They do this at least a week ahead of time. They pick the location and the ending point. The group will show up at the starting location and have no idea where the finish is at. The "Hares" leave about 15 minutes before the "hounds" (the rest of the group)and mark a trail with flour, chaulk, doughnuts, etc. and try to confuse the group with bad trails and misleading marks. The hounds then try to catch the hares. These runs are usually anywhere between 2 and 5 miles. Often the hares put a beer check on there trail. This means the hounds stop for a beer, either at a bar or at a location with beer in a cooler. This also slows the group down. Oh, did I mention, this isn't a race. Racing is frowned on.

When everyone reaches the end, we participate in a tradition called down-downs. Basically, we do a lot of drinking and celebrate new runners, people who have run 10, 20, 30, etc. runs, and other neat shit. Oh yea, you also recieve a name by the group that stays with you for life. That's where the name Greatful Head comes from.

ON-ON I wish we could take credit for inventing this awesome form of entertainment, but we can't. It actually started in 1938 by a group of English soldiers stationed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Since then it has grown huge. There are somewhere in the vacinity of 2500 groups worldwide and over 1000 in the USA alone. For more information on the Hash, Flying Booger has the best site I have ever seen. You can get locations of the closest hash to where you live, or anything else that you might want to know about the world of hashing.
