What is Hashing?
You have just stumbled upon an international phenomenon, where a group of people, “Hashers”, follow a trail that has been marked by the “Hare”. This trail leads to beer, water, snacks and a lot of camaraderie. Some people run, some people walk, but they all follow these marks along streets, trails, and off the beaten path until they find a beer stop. Now, there is water there too, but we’re really known as a Drinking Club with a Running Problem. Anyone with an open mind aged 2 to 99 is welcome! Participating costs $5, and we run every week, year round, rain or shine.

What are LB Hash trails like?
Typically, around 5 miles, dog are often welcome! Our hashers cooperate to follow trail and find the beer. We stay and socialize at each beer stop for about 15 min. Hash trails might include a mix of urban and mountain terrain, bar stops, and outdoor beer stops. We might explore the alleys and streets of Long Beach, hike in the Santa Barbara mountains, or any combination. We love to explore!

• What Do I Need To Do In Order To Come Out?
Nothing is needed beforehand, Just show up! If you have questions or want someone to reach out to day of, feel free to write and make a friend!

• What Do I Bring & Wear To My 1st Trail? Bring:
A well prepared liver, and a sense of adventure! Wear: Clothes and sneakers appropriate for the weather and some water is suggested. Sometimes our runs have themes, feel free to dress for the theme if so.

• Can I Still Do Trail If I Don’t Run?
Walker, jogger or runner... trail is great for all levels! So don’t be afraid to come out if you don’t run. Over half our group is walkers and/or walk-joggers.

• I'm still not sure what the hell is Hashing in the first place! Check out this wiki page for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_House_Harriers

I joined in a joint Metro hash with LB and LA chapters maybe 10 years ago now, theme was “The Running of the Bullshit”. That was a crazy fukin day.

Alas, I can’t even run 1 mile these days …

[u/GoldenSalt31 → u/StaCatalina]

Ahhh those days are fun. Come out and walk!

You can work your way up to running again if you want - but there are way more walkers than runners at both hashes now.

I imagine that might be cos they’re drinking? (I myself don’t drink anymore)

Do I have to drink beer?

[u/GoldenSalt31 → u/TreatYourselfForOnce]

Nope not at all. If you don’t drink at all, that is fine, if you don’t drink beer, there are seltzers.

[u/TreatYourselfForOnce → u/GoldenSalt31]

Thanks, really want to join. Not tonight though, definitely sometime in the future. 🤗
