Hear ye! Hear ye! ZH3’s Latest 15 Minutes of Fame!

19. January 2025 / Merry Chuggins

You heard it here last, hares and harriettes! The Zurich Hash House Harrier’s have launched into stardom, with our latest feature in none other than, “20 Minuten”!

For a hash kennel that is almost ran more by dogs than runners, we’ve made the news at last. While our pup’s aren’t fortunate enough to have their own whatsapp group chats like those in Seefeld, we have still gotten four-paws up, pawsitive, reviews from our doggy flour tasters.

Our four legged companions are safe and sound, and will continue to run by our sides every hash they can! In case you’d like to view the explanation yourselves, or simply revel in our fame, the article can be found here.

We’d also like to take a moment to appreciate other potential topics that may have been news worthy, that were raised by concerned citizens in the comments.

Do Swiss citizen’s know the correct way to test white ground substances?

Has doggy Telegram gone too far?

And finally, are our children of the avian persuasion?

Winterfest 2025 is back to cure all that ails you and deliver you back to the right path set by your hedonistic messiahs, your one and only Winterfest Hares!

The Mismanagement has pre-arranged the inoculated conception of not one, but 3 (or more) hares to teach us the purpose of our lives, delivered through scriptures only found at the bottom of an empty bottle. It’s our very mission to deliver to every attendee of this exclusive weekend sojourn as many empty bottles as possible to ensure proper incocktrination.

We promise an entire weekend’s worth of entertainment, delivering the following in various volumes and poor distribution of quality:

3 official trails, plus one for those who don’t mind a frostbitten pecker
Absolutely epic home made meals to warm you from the deep inside
All the Beer/Bubbles/Cider/yellow snow/other human fluids you can drink
1 drunken Friday night party
1 even more drunken Saturday party preceded by silly games followed by serious dancing
Saturday night party theme –> A Winter Fairy Tale from Hell
All the custom haberdashery Swiss money can buy
Dedicated haberdashery for the event (some sizes may be not available for late comers signing 3 weeks before the event)
A heated venue for a maximum of 50 people!

AGM 2024

28. August 2024 / cheesy

Thursday, September 19, is the 2024 AGM for ZH3.

ZH3 is not a dicktatorship … yet. Therefore, this is our yearly election (and for some hashers also their “yearly erection”) where you all get to vote for the half-minds who will be your next Mismanagement committee. Before the event, do nominate who you believe will be intermittently sober enough to do the duties of the positions; those responsible to ensure the longevity, survival and general functioning of the Zurich Hash House Harriers.

Do your nominations using this form.

We will ALSO be celebrating our accomplishments, misdeeds and consumptions of the year past. Nominate your favourite HASH OF THE YEAR, and HARDSHIP HASH OF THE YEAR by filling up this form.
A few important details to note:

If you want to vote please turn up on the night.
Nominations must be made, and accepted, before 9pm Thursday 12th of September.
You can run for more than one position.
To vote, you must have hashed with ZH3 in the previous year.
There are two positions for haberdasher.

What does the mismanagement do?

GM – the grand master or mistress of the mismanagement, ensuring that people are suitably hassled to fulfil drunken promises, organising mismanagement meetings and drinking practice. Never drinks alone.
RA – has the weekly responsibility of making sure we have a circle and the burden of providing weather.
Beer Raiser – makes sure that the holy cold beer arrives at each hash.
Hash Cash – takes the money every week and is responsible for making sure we have enough left in our coffers for special events.
Hare Raiser – cajoles hashers into laying trail, updates the hareline and ensures hares are suitably rewarded with carrots.
Web Slave – updates www.zh3.ch and keeps up to date on our emails.
Haberdashers (x2) – organise and sell our ZH3 hash gear.

Red Dress Run 2024

5. August 2024 / cheesy

Hares: Gladiator, Beggin’ for It, and Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey

WHAT?

It’s exactly what it sounds like: a run (or walk) following a trail around the beautiful city of Zürich for which EVERYONE, man, woman, child, or dog, will wear their finest red frock. There will be stylish haberdashery freebies, a fabulous central location, bawdy singing, and a LOT of beer. Best of all, it’s for a good cause.

WHY?

In 1987, a woman named Donna Reinhart got gussied up for what turned out to be the worst date ever. Not only was she taken to the Long Beach Hash, she was then told to “wait in the truck” due to her unsuitable outfit. But Donna, being a total badass, joined the run in her pretty red dress. This impressed the hashers so much that they began holding a Red Dress Run annually in her honour, raising money for charity. Other hashes have adopted the custom and now thousands of dollars are generated each year for good causes around the world.

WHO (are we giving the money to)?

Once again we will be raising money for 143.ch, a mental health crisis hotline offering support for German and English speakers in Switzerland by phone, email and webchat. This is a cause close to all our hearts after the tragic loss of our beloved co-hasher Bling Dong (Matt Moss) last year. The cost of this hash will therefore be 25CHF, and you are very welcome to donate more if you wish to. If you wish to prepay, please make a transfer to the below account with the reference “RDR 2024 (your hash name)”

BIC: MIGRCHZZXXX
IBAN: CH74 0840 1000 0519 9117 9

HOW?

WHERE?

Near Tram Stop Kirche Fluntern.

WHEN?

Meet at 1:45pm to start at 2:00pm. There will be a charge of CHF5.00 for participating.

Swiss Nash Hash 2024 – Dirty Cows and Horny Farmers

12. February 2024 / cheesy

When is it?

6-8 September 2024

What is it?

Swiss national hash, hosted by ZH3.

We are gathering in the picturesque prealps village of Schwarzsee to search for the fountain of youth and indulge in the local traditions of getting freaky with dirty cows. The Zurich Hash House Harriers will host this year’s extravaganza promising lakes, mountains, all the beer you can drink and none of the cows you can’t afford. The Haus der Jugend will be our Venue for the weekend, featuring many spacious rooms with a guarantee of maximum 4 persons per room (and the possibility to book “couples” rooms for those looking for some extra-bovine
love). We will be completely surrounded by Mountains, with plenty of opportunities to get some good old Swiss vertical meters into your system and cool down at the lake (ignore local folklore about the lake dragon for extra comfort)
