AVLH5: A Running Club with a Twist.

Upcoming Trails

AVLH5 will continue to be random, with no scheduled trails at the moment. Keep an eye out for pop up trails on FB.

Asheville Hare and Hounds or AVLH5 is a runners group. You won't be running full steam the entire time, the crafty hare will keep everyone together, and at some point the 'slower' runners will be ahead of the pack! There typically will be one stop where water and beer will provided (this is when the entire pack will catch up, and the hare will take off again). Trails average 5-6 ish miles.

Other Running Groups in the area.

Keep an eye out for events with AVLH3 Asheville Hash House Harriers and other running groups in the area. We are all friends, just providing different aspects of the "hashing world". AVLH3 is the same, just more accommodating for all runner / walker types, and more mid trail socializing.

KHFDS is Co-haring with Sicilian Family Portrait for the upcoming Ugly Sweater Run with AVLH3 in November so sign up and join in.

Hillman Beer Run Club runs on Tuesdays at 6:15 from Hillman Brewery in Biltmore Village. They post their info on the Asheville Running Page on Facebook.

Asheville Runners has been around a long time, meets at various breweries and has a loyal following.

What is Hashing?

Originating in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur, with over 1700 groups worldwide the Hash House Harriers (HHH or H3 or us H5) is an international group of non-competitive running, social, and drinking clubs. An event, known as a "hash," is organized by a "hare" who lays a trail with chalk, flour, or paper. The hare gets a set amount of time to take off first, 15 minutes for example, laying a 'trail' , then the pack of "hounds" gives chase, trying to find the hare following the trail markings to the end. The trail includes false trails, checkbacks, and checkpoints to keep the pack together. It's all about fun, fitness, and friendship—not speed. All fitness levels are welcome!
