Seeking Harriers

I'm not sure how to do this, but I want to start my own Hash House Harriers group...sans alcohol.

Scratching your head asking, "What's a Hash House Harrier?"

It's a group of drinkers with a running problem.

Only I and most of my friends don't drink alcohol, so I'm thinking maybe we could replace the alcohol with chocolate? Or something else for Tiff...let's see...how about the Harriers Who Run for Virgin Coladas?

Okay, that's going to take some thinking, and I can see that you're still sitting there wondering what the heck is a Hash House Harrier.

It goes a little something like this:

You get a group of people whom we will now call "Hounds." But one person is the Hare who plans out and lays a trail with flour in advance of the event. The hounds then have to track down the hare by following the trail of flour. The trail breaks off here and there, and the hounds all sniff around for it. Once it's found, the finder yells out, "ON! ON!" And the chase continues.

At random points throughout the trail, a cooler of beer is found and consumed by the hounds. Here's where we have to figure out what to put in the cooler...it can be a complete surprise....Hare's choice! Or just a marker or something...anything!

After the race, everyone converges on a spot (a restaurant, a house, a park) and eats and drinks more of something other than beer, in our case.

I ran with harriers in Charlottesville, VA. It was SO FUN! And a fun way to get in some exercise.

Who's with me?
