The Hash Hound Harriers, Pittsburgh’s Drinking Club with a Running Problem are back in RED.  Friday, July 25th, 2008 is their Red Dress Run.  Yep they will be running around town in red dresses – Men and Women, in red dresses.   Check out my post on one of their past runs for a definition of a hash run .

Gene’s Last Chance (in the Strip)
2533 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Donation to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society – $11
Bring money for trail. Start shopping for your red dresses if you dont have any yet.

For you virgin red dressers:
1. Everyone wears a red dress – men and women.
b. Some do the minimal – wearing red shirts and pants/shorts – pansies!
iii. Some go all out – men in drag and women in prom dresses. – Sexxy sexxy!!!

Then we do a hash in our red dresses. That means we follow a trail of flour, and drink alcoholic beverages.

History Mystery Run

Pittsburgh’s Hash House Harriers (aka PGH H-3) refer to them selves as “the drinking club with a running problem.”

What is Hashing?
You have just stumbled upon an International phenomenon, where a group of people, “Hashers”, follow a cryptic trail that has been marked with flour 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 cryptic marks along streets, trails, and off the beaten path until they find a beer stop. Now there is water there too, and snacks, but really we are known as a Beer Drinking Club with a Running Problem.

Pittsburgh’s Hash House Harrier’s are getting into the Pittsburgh 250 spirit with a History Mystery Run This Monday.  This mystery run will hit a couple of Pittsburgh’s historical sites and will be about 3-4 miles.

The Hash House Harriers have many other runs planned – check out their website for details.
