The Beijing Hashes

Beijing Hash House Harriers (founded by Brian "Ewor" Rowe in 1979 and founded again by Clint Halloran in 1982) is a mixed hash that runs every week without fail. Hash attendance varies weather depending from 25-50, who cares though? You're going to get a good run and more than enough food and beer.

We are a friendly, social, beer motivated running club. Our only interest is to have as much fun as possible that can be squeezed into a Sunday afternoon. Runs are on Sundays and our Hash bar is Paddy O'Sheas on Dongzhemenwei Dajie across from the Canadian Embassy. You are welcome to come to the bar before the run for drink specials and food.

The run start location is listed here and on our website and will usually begin at 2pm in the winter and 3pm the rest of the year (start times for special runs can vary from noon to 4pm). Runs are usually about an hour long and between 8-10km and can be in-town runs (get there by car/taxi convoy) or out-of-town runs (by organized bus). The cost is usually 60 yuan (about 8 USD) which gets you somewhere to run, walk or trash (be it water, sand or mud!!), someone to talk to, someone to persecute, lots of off key singing all the beer you can drink plus all the food you can eat at the hash restaurant for the day. However, the Beijing hash house harriers have one rule and that is that there are no rules and the RA is always right!
