First hash
The Hash House Harriers is an informal gathering of once-a-week runners. It started off in Kuala Lumpur in the late 1930's as a way for the local expats to get some exercise. The name comes from the original meeting place, The Selangor Club (aka The Hash House), and the fact that the sport is based on the old paper chase or hounds-and-hares, a favourite with the British gentry since the late 1800's. Since the 1960's, Hashing has been spreading around the world. Originally an expat activity, the majority of hashes now cater to local residents. Since Hashing is by definition a disorganised activity, nobody really knows the true figures, but by the best estimates there are several hundred thousand Hashers running in around 2,000 Hashes in 150 countries around the world. The Saigon Hash House Harriers is a family Hash. We cater to all ages and genders. Membership is automatic - once you have attended two runs you are a member. There are no membership fees: members pay a run
