Welcome To The Atlanta
Hash!
The Atlanta Hash House Harriers and Harriettes,
(AH4) is a Social Running Club that emphasizes
fun (beer) more than competition. Our goal
is pretty simple - get a little exercise,
drink some beer, give each other a hard time,
and bitch about stuff with four-letter words.
Founded
in 1982, the Atlanta Hash was the first
hash to hit the great state of Georgia,
and we've given birth to many other
chapters near and far. We don't take
ANY responsibility for these ne'er-do-wells,
but if you can't hash with us for some
stooopid reason, we suggest giving
them a look-see. Just don't expect
any of them to be as cool as us.
At one of our fine hashes, which generally
meet each Saturday
at 1:30PM, you can expect to find a somewhat
challenging cross-country trail, which will
be marked
in biodegradable flour - you know, the
stuff Grandma uses to make cookies. You follow
this fine trail through all sorts of
slop, muck and prickly-briar-filled bushes
for four to five miles until you get to the
end.
Why, you might ask, would anyone do this?
Simple Answer - BEER. The Complicated Answer - More beer! (We like beer, the people who make beer, and the people who like to drink beer.)
Yep - heaps of beer. All waiting for you...
Sounds good, doesn't it? Click
here for this week's hash!
On-On!
Atlanta Area Hashes
Whaddya mean you can't go hashing on Saturday? But Saturday is a hashing day!!! Well, any hashing is better than *no* hashing. So here's some other area hash stuff.
A calendar of who's where when.
Dear First Responders & HAZMAT Folks...
FBI has asked that (we) get this out to
the fire community. Please feel free to pass
on as you see fit to other public safety
officials.
Synopsis: Brief description of running club “hash
runs” and use of white powder to mark
routes during these runs.
Details: Local law enforcement and Hazardous
Material Response Teams have received calls
concerning a white powder substance that
has been found on streets of some cities
in significant amounts. The powder has been
determined to be flour and is being left
by running groups to mark a running course.
These runs are referred to as “hash
runs” and are popular throughout the
United States. Several cities have these
groups and there is no overseeing organization
that regulates their activity nationally.
Individual cities may have several groups
and there is generally no set routine for
the course being run. The organizers mark
the course using piles or lines of flour.
Runs most often occur on weekday nights.
(Ed note - Weekends too!)
Public awareness and a concern for safety
have prompted several calls to local law
enforcement agencies regarding this unidentified
powder (flour). Recent calls have occurred
in Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The associated response to determine the
nature of the powder diverts law enforcement/fire
resources and time away from legitimate concerns.
AH4 Needs Hares - LOTS of them!
Yeah it is one of the ironic things in
life in that for the bulk of us to kill a
Saturday by running a trail and getting blotto
on the beer, that one (or two) of us have
to take a bullet for the team, and set the
damn trail. Quite the pain in the tush, n'est
pas?
Anyway, our Hare Raiser, PWD, is running WAY short
of hares - yep, the cup runneth empty,
the cabinet is bare, the pope ain't wearing
any pants, you get the drift. So,
how can we correct this situation? By volunteering to set trail, ya dope! All
ya gotta do is click on this here fancy link, pwd@atlantahash.com, and tell him that you want to do your part for organized chaos, and that you
(yes, you, Bub), wanna set a trail!
