Hares: Cavity Search & Climbidia.<\/p>\n

WHAT?
It\u2019s exactly what it sounds like: a run (or walk) following a trail around the beautiful city of Z\u00fcrich 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.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cwait in the truck\u201d 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\u00a0adopted the custom<\/a>\u00a0and now thousands of dollars are generated each year for good causes around the world.<\/p>\n

WHO (are we giving the money to)?
Once again we will be raising money for\u00a0143.ch<\/a>, 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 suggested cost of this hash will be 25CHF, and you are very welcome to donate more if you wish to.

\/*************************************************************************\/
Here’s what you need to know about the Hash:<\/p>\n

All Welcome:<\/strong>
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here’s what you need to know:
\u2022 Physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humor is useful.
\u2022 The aim is to find the ‘Beer Stop’ at the end of the ‘trail’ and have fun.
\u2022 ‘True Trail’ is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk\/running) and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
\u2022 The ‘Hare’, which changes each event, cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
\u2022 There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
\u2022 After Trail, we group for ~30-45 minutes for drinks, snacks and some fun. This ‘Circle’ is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it’s dark).<\/p>\n

Why bother leaving your warm sofa?<\/strong>
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing.<\/p>\n

‘Hashing’ and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (Hashs) in most major cities. Its humor and ‘traditions’ can be explored on the internet –\u00a0or you can just come along and find out.<\/strong>\u00a0See you there.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies ‘Virgin Hashers’ and visitors from other groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
