SoCal Hash House Harriers

Welcome to the meetup home of the Los Angeles and Long Beach Hash House Harriers.
We are two mingled-groups of people interested in hiking, running, drinking, exploring, and raunchy humor.

Los Angeles Hash House Harriers (LAH3) runs every Saturday afternoon, starting at a different place every week throughout LA county.
Long Beach Hash House Harriers (LBH3) runs on Sunday mornings during the winter and Thursday evenings during the summer in Long Beach and the surrounding communities.

Come join us on our next hash!

Typically we have 30-60 people on trail, Meet Up is not our usual organizational method (we typically use out website https://hash.beer), so don't be concerned if you only see a couple RSVPs.

So...

What is Hashing?

You have just stumbled upon an international phenomenon, where a group of people, “Hashers”, follow a trail that has been marked by the “Hare”. This trail leads to beer, water, snacks and a lot of camaraderie. Some people run, some people walk, but they all follow these marks along streets, trails, and off the beaten path until they find a beer stop. Now, there is water there too, but we’re really known as a Drinking Club with a Running Problem. Anyone with an open mind aged 2 to 99 is welcome! Participating costs $5, and we run every week, year round, rain or shine.

What are LA/LB Hash trails like?
Typically, around 5 miles, dog are often welcome! Our hashers cooperate to follow trail and find the beer. We stay and socialize at each beer stop for about 15 min. Hash trails might include a mix of urban and mountain terrain, bar stops, and outdoor beer stops. We might explore the alleys and streets of Long Beach, hike in the Santa Barbara mountains, or any combination. We love to explore!

• What Do I Need To Do In Order To Come Out?
Nothing is needed beforehand, Just show up! If you have questions or want someone to reach out to day of, feel free to write and make a friend!

• What Do I Bring & Wear To My 1st Trail? Bring:
A well prepared liver, and a sense of adventure! Wear: Clothes and sneakers appropriate for the weather and some water is suggested. Sometimes our runs have themes, feel free to dress for the theme if so.

• Can I Still Do Trail If I Don’t Run?
Walker, jogger or runner... trail is great for all levels! So don’t be afraid to come out if you don’t run. Over half our group is walkers and/or walk-joggers.

• I'm still not sure what the hell is Hashing in the first place! Check out this wiki page for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_House_Harriers
