What is Asheville Hares and Hounds Hash House Harriers (AVLH5) Hashing?
Hashing is a mixture of running, orienteering, and a treasure hunt. Bascially it's a group run where the Hare (s) (who does not want to get caught) gets a head start and lays a deceptive trail of marks and clues and are then followed by the Hounds (who want to catch them), with a regrouping mid trail for everyone to catch up, then off with the Hares again. We never know where the Hares will go....city, suburbia, woods ??? only the Hares know.. We like it dog and kid friendly, occasionally stroller friendly.
We are a fitness-oriented, running-focused kennel all about the trail, and nothing but the trail, so help us trail.
Our trails are less on fuss and fanfare, 4 to 6 miles, with one mid trail stop, we don't have runner / walker splits, though we do have a few faster walkers who enjoy our spirit and keep up quite happliy.
Asheville Hash House Harriers is the companion, the original kennel in Asheville. The runner runners gravite towards AVLH5 one Sunday a month, the hash runners have AVLH3 to choose every Saturday. We intermingle quite well. Relax..... enjoy.....both.. On-On!
