Here’s the schedule: Continue reading

WH4 Campout – The Horniest Place on Earth (in Virginia)

The White House Hash House Harriers from northern Virginia/DC are hosting a campout in Rileyville, Virginia during the weekend of 28-30 July 2017.

Hash House Harriers in Outside Magazine

In 2016, a reporter from Outside Magazine hashed with a few of the New York City Hash House Harriers’ kennels.  I met her; she was a pretty good sport, hashing in Brooklyn and the city, and taking her down-downs without too many complaints.  As is customary in New York City, she was not named.

The article was published in one of the magazine’s Fall issues and is now available online.

2016 New York City Red Dress Run

new-york-city-red-dress-run-2016The New York City Hash House Harriers hosts its 19th annual Red Dress Run on the weekend of September 24 2016.  Just like the city itself, the NYC event is always a raucous good time.  The A to A trail promises lots of sights where hashers can simultaneously take in and be the scenery in  the crowded city streets.

Hashers attending this event will have the opportunity to donate to the great charity Back on My Feet again this year.  Somewhat controversially, a charitable donation is not included in your $30 hash cash, so the collection box will be at the on-in and you can kick in Continue reading

DC Red Dress King of the Hill competition

The Washington DC Red Dress Run is always an epic event, however this year the RDR committee is introducing a special King of the Hill award to the non-DC-area kennel that brings in the most attendees.  All RDR-attending hashers from the winning kennel receives a “cool, shiny, glowing”, and possibly pretty worthless, prize.

So if you want to bring home something unique  from this year’s DC RDR, start bugging your friends into registering.

DC RDR King of the Hill Standings

DC Red Dress King of the Hill StandingsAs of right now, in hash-vs-hash competition, Philadelphia’s Ben Franklin Mob H3 is in the lead with 10 regos, followed by Richmond H3, Hockessin H3, and Tidewater H3.

The differences between the leaders and back-of-the-pack is pretty small, so there’s still an opportunity for an upset when rego finally closes.

About the DC Red Dress Run

DC Red Dress Run LogoThe 2016 DC Red Dress Run takes place on Saturday October 8, 2016, starting at 12PM (11AM for VIPs). Venue is the Capitol Skyline Hotel, (also the hash hotel for out-of-towners), which features an outdoor pool and poolside bar and is less than a mile from the US Capitol and National Mall.  Special hasher rate for rooms is $199 per night.

For your registration, you get half a day of RDR activities, trail, beer check, buffet dinner, and late night dancing.

Registration Details for the DC RDR

As of this writing, rego is $95, however once those sell out the cost will go up to the final price of $105 until that sells out (DC Red Dress does sell out). Registration will close on October 3rd. Register here at hashrego.com.

No Frills Interhash with Summit Hash House Harriers

No Frills Interhash HareThe Summit Hash House Harriers are hosting the No Frills Interhash at the Harmony Ridge Campground from September 30 – October 2 2016. Hashers can register for 3 days of Interhash fun, or for 2 days at a discounted rate.

Summit H3 organizers are pushing for more participation from area hashers in this year’s No Frills Interhash, especially from the New York City area, including the New York City Hash House Harriers, Columbia H3, Long Island Lunatics H3, and Brooklyn H3.  Given that the closest they get to camping is when they have to live in a refrigerator box when the rent gets tripled, New Yorkers tend to be infrequent campout attendees.

Kids Welcome

An interesting feature of this Interhash especially to those parentally-inclined is that Summit welcomes kids for the weekend! As it says on the website, the No Frills Interhash is “not necessarily a kid friendly event but hash spawn are welcome”.

Event Schedule

The Summit H3 is offering a full weekend of hashing activities, including:

Friday

  • Bimbo Trail with beer check
  • Pot luck grilling

Saturday

  • Brunch for Friday campers
  • Afternoon trail with beer check
  • BBQ dinner

Sunday

  • Breakfast
  • Fatboy trail with beer check
  • Noon checkout

Campground Information

The Harmony Ridge Campground in Northern New Jersey and a short drive from Philadelphia and New York City. You must make your cabin or camping reservation yourself by calling Harmony Ridge directly at 1-973-948-4941.

  • Camping cost is $15 per person per night. When you make your reservation, tell them you are tent camping in Group Area E. Contact the Summit H3 organizers if you don’t have a tent.

Registration

Registration for the No Frills Interhash is a cheap $40 for Friday-Sunday and an even cheaper $30 if you just want to join Saturday-Sunday, and covers food and beer. Kids are just $15 per. You must reserve and pay for your accommodations directly with the campgrounds, as rego doesn’t include camping costs. Rego is here.

Rego fees must be paid to the Interhash organizers by Sept 15 to finalize purchases.

The Summit Hash House Harriers are well known in the area for being a great group and providing a fun time. We’re looking forward to this being another one of their great events.
