History

Surf City Hash House Harriers, SCH3, based in and around Santa Cruz, California, is just one of over 1700 worldwide chapters of the Hash House Harriers, an eccentric international running, drinking and socializing club founded in Malaysia in 1938.  We have been memorialized in our local rag, The Good Times.  Written by our past R.A. and Scribe, JordassForMen, this entertaining article tells it all. http://www.gtweekly.com/2007100322277/good-times/covers/they-ve-got-the-runs

Here's the cliff-notes version:  The club is based on the old English game of "Hare and Hounds" and is centered around non-competitive running and enjoyment of beer. The term 'running' loosely means running, jogging, strolling, walking, lolly-gagging, or crawling and is secondary to the social aspect of hashing. The end of the run is where the fun begins.
