Cambridge Hash House Harriers (often called the Cantabrigensis Hash House Harriers or just “Cambridge Hash”) is part of the global Hash House Harriers network — an informal, non-competitive running and social group often described as “a drinking club with a running problem.” Members (called hashers) follow a trail laid out by a hare using markers like chalk/flour, enjoy the challenge of following the trail together, and finish at a pub/social spot with drinks and awards.
