Welcome to North Wilts Hash House Harriers

A drinking club with a running problem

        North wilts hash house harriers (nwh3) is a small family based club who run every Sunday at 6.30pm  from April to September and 11am October to March. We also have a Moonrakers run every fortnight on a Wednesday at 7pm.         

Hashing has been described as a drinking club with a running problem. More specifically, it’s social jogging for the unfit, slightly fit and nearly fit. Runs are typically between four and six miles, and are laid, in advance, by one or more HARES, usually following country footpaths or lanes or, if not, with the permission of local landowners. There are CHECKS, every half mile, or less, where better runners can run further in endeavouring to find the correct path, and lesser runners can have a rest. HASHING IS NOT A RACE, the aim is that, because of the CHECKS and various FALSE TRAILS, all the runners, from the fit to the walkers, finish at about the same time. Runs usually start and end at a pub, and it is customary for HASHERS, after the run, to take full advantage of the facilities offered. Dress is usually scruffy running gear (trainers, shorts/tracksuit, T-shirt) - don't dress up, it can be muddy. Bring spare shoes, jeans, etc. for pub afterwards.
If you’d like to try Hashing, just turn up at one of the forthcoming runs or, for confirmation of venue, to arrange a lift or for any other details, get in touch with one of the contacts contained in this site. We welcome women, men, children of about ten years plus, dogs, mums, dads, grand-parents. Of any sexual orientation. Or none. From any country, politics, religion, creed, etc. Basically, we’ll take anybody! Cheers
