A drinking club with a running problem

Bombay Hash House Harriers was established on February 6, 1983. Inspired by the global Hash tradition, BH3 was founded by David Reid and Jai Singh to bring together adventurous souls who believe fitness should be fun, social, and rewarded with beer.


Over 43 years, BH3 has grown into a vibrant, inclusive community of professionals, expats, students, and explorers โ€” united by trails, laughter, and tradition. From Mumbai’s beaches to the Western Ghats, forests to urban jungles โ€” weโ€™ve hashed it all.

What is Hash House Harriers?
The Hash House Harriers began in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur by British expatriates. The name comes from their nickname for the Selangor Club dining hall โ€” the “Hash House.”
Today, over 2,000 chapters exist worldwide. Each maintains its own flavor but follows the core philosophy:
Follow the trail โ€” Marked with flour/chalk; solve checks and avoid false trails.
Trust the hare โ€” The volunteer who sets the trail (and usually gets punished!).
Respect the circle โ€” Post-run gathering for songs, accusations, and down-downs.
Earn your beer โ€” No one drinks for free!
Our Philosophy
We welcome all fitness levels โ€” Runners, joggers, walkers โ€” everyone is a hasher.
We value inclusivity and respect โ€” No discrimination; fun for all.
We encourage responsible fun โ€” Drink, but know your limits.
We maintain camaraderie and tradition โ€” Friendship lasts beyond the trail.
We run not to win โ€” but to belong.
The Committee (Mismanagement)
The “Mismanagement” changes annually and handles the chaos with humor:
Grand Master (GM) โ€“ Oversees all operations and circle ceremonies.
Religious Advisor (RA) โ€“ Leads songs, down-downs, and “discipline.”
On Sec โ€“ Handles communications and announcements.
Hash Cash โ€“ Manages finances and registrations.
Trail Master โ€“ Plans and inspects trails.
Web Master โ€“ Manages digital presence.
