Hash House Harriers
is a branch of
the internationally renowned running club. We were
founded on 21 March 1982 and have run every week since.

Hashing
is fun, non-competitive
running, following a trail laid by the 'hares'. After the
run, which lasts about an hour, we 'on-down' to the local pub.
L2H3 is a
friendly, all-age and all-ability hash; new hashers and
visitors are always welcome.
We are lucky to have
wonderful countryside and many kind farmers allowing us to
run off-road.
We run mainly cross-country, through fields, lanes,
streams, marshes, on the cliff paths and on Bodmin Moor.
The trail is laid in flour or sawdust by the
hares,
who will have devised a circular route incorporating checks,
false trails, loops designed to keep the front runners
busy and to keep the pack together. We often incorporate a long/short split
with the aim that everyone finishes together -
well more or less... if we're lucky!

We meet
every Monday evening April to
October and Sunday mornings during the winter. After the run we
'on-down' at the nearest pub for a few beers, for hashers to
sign in, for the On Sec to give out
'The Word' and 'down downs'
for the hares. |

If you haven't been hashing
before then come along and find out what its all about. Be
prepared to get a bit wet and mud-splashed, so
bring a change of clothes for in the the pub afterwards.

mismanagement
The Hash is organized by the On-Sec and team of Mismanagement.
The venue for the following week or two is given out in The
Word. The Run always starts on time, latecomers may be able to
pick up the trail, but there's no knowing what devious plot the
hares have laid. So its better to arrive in good time and hear the
briefing by the hare before the run begins.
Hashing isn't free, we don't have a
subscription but we all contribute a small amount for each Hash you run. This
is collected by Hash Cash in the pub after the run. If you are
unable to join us in the pub please pay before you depart.
Hashes don't lay
themselves.
We encourage
all
hashers take their turn as hare, so that every week we
can enjoy a different venue.
If you Hash regularly you will no doubt volunteer to lay a
run! Plenty of help and advice is available and if you haven't
laid a run before you can set one jointly with another more
experienced Hasher.
Down-Downs and Hash Raffle in the pub
after the run; the hare provides the raffle prizes. Snacks in
the pub are an occasional bonus, not every week, again provided
by the hare.
