About Sydney Thirsty Hash House Harriers
- Who are we?
- We are the Sydney Thirsty Hash House Harriers - the world famous “Drinking Club with a Running Problem”. We are a social bunch of folk who have fun and welcome anyone else who would like to join us, be it on a regular basis or just visiting.
- What do we do?
- Run, Jog, Walk or Dawdle - anyone that likes to mix their
socializing and drinking with a bit of exercise would enjoy the
Hash. There is no competition, everybody's a hero, there are no
winners or losers!
The idea of hashing is similar to the old English public school game of Hare & Hounds, where the “Hare” sets a trail using cut paper (or these days, more so flour or chalk). The pack (that's us) try to follow the trail and, just like hare & hounds, the trail can go dead and pick up elsewhere - it keeps the fast runners from finishing too soon. - When do we do it?
- Every
Thursday(Thirsty!) evening at 6:30pm in or around the city. Runs last for about an hour or so, and after the run we have a “Circle” where charges are made, “Down Downs” are drunk, stories are told and many beers are drunk.
We usually manage to sing a good selection of songs - (get songbook). From there we go to the “On On” - a local restaurant or pub where we eat (& drink). We frequently have a monthly run on the first Saturday of each month - sometimes this is held on a “weekend away” where we can get plenty of bush (running of course). - How much do we pay?
- Just $7 (AUD) for all the beer and fun you can handle!
