The Hash House Harriers is a running/drinking/social club which was started by bored expatriates in Kuala Lumpuer, Malaysia in 1938. ("Hash House" is the nickname of the restaurant/bar to which they retired for food and beer after a run).
Hashing is based on the English schoolboy game of "Hare and Hounds"; a Hash is a non-competitive cross-country run set by one or more runners called hares. The hares run out in advance of the other runners (the pack of hounds), and set a course marked by white flour.
Established in 1996, Basel Stadt Hash runs the second Saturday of the month. Check our website for details of venues.
We welcome people of all running ability from "none at all" to top marathon runners.
We endeavour to make our routes child and pushchair-friendly thus making for an ideal family day out.

Most members live and work in the Basel region, including neighbouring communities in France and Germany. They have a wide range of hobbies and interests and most speak more than one language. Our members have established careers in pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, marketing, communications, medicine, law, banking, finance and accounting, information technology,hotel industry, day care, education and cultural heritage conservation.
