Drink. R*n. Be Merry.

Minneapolis Hash House Harriers is the Twin Cities drinking club with a running problem. Every week, a new trail is created using chalk and flour that the runners must complete to find the beer stop. The hash happens every week, all year long. It does not stop in the winter.

First-timers and travelers are welcome, but read our guide and rules first.

Our marquee annual event is No Wimps, which happens on the statistically coldest day of the year.

About 10-30 people every week

3 - 6 mile trail

Walkers and runners both welcome

Beer + non-alcoholic options

Circle, songs, drinks and food nearby after trail

What to expect on trail

If you have never hashed before, start here.

Short version

One or more hares lay trail with flour or whatever else makes sense that week. The pack then runs, or walks the trail. Front runners usually work out the checks; the walkers follow the noise.

Expect a beer stop somewhere in the middle, then a regroup at the finish for circle, songs, mockery, beverages, and a nearby place for drinks and food (the on-after).

Bring this stuff

Shoes that you don't mind getting a little dirty.
Layers, especially in winter, plus dry clothes for the ride home if conditions are moist.
Cash (or Zelle) to pay, your ID for on-after.
A headlamp for dark-season trails, especially in the winter.
A sense of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself. Crude and lewd jokes and songs are part of the culture. Your uptight friend that gets offended by everything will not enjoy this.

House Rules

Don't be a Richard

Adults only

MH3 is a social group built around trail chaos, songs with adult humor, and drinking. You must be of legal drinking age in order to participate, there are no exceptions.

Etiquette

Be decent to your fellow hashers, respectful to the neighborhoods we move through, and responsible with alcohol.

Don't litter your cans, hashers aren't trashers.

Driving drunk is illegal, stupid and dangerous and you should not do it. Know your limits.

Adult humor happens; harassment is not part of the deal.

Nomenclature

Enough jargon to survive your first hash

Hare

The person setting trail, planting confusion, and arranging refreshments.

Pack

The group chasing trail, from front-running check breakers to the walkers.

Chalk Talk

The hare describes what chalk marks will be present, including any special marks, before the trail begins.

Shiggy

The rough, messy, stupid, swampy, brushy, or snowy parts that make the trail memorable.

Beer Stop

A strategically placed pause in the trail, usually with beer, NA drinks and water.

Circle

The post-trail ceremony where songs happen and trail sins are publicly revisited.

Check

A check is a break in the trail. Hashers must find the correct path, indicated by 3 marks. Wait for an experienced hasher if you're unsure what to do here.
