Kunming Spring City Hash House Harriers (KSCHHH)昆明捷兔俱乐部 -边跑步边喝酒的俱乐部

The Hash House Harriers are a social drinking club with a running problem. Originating in Kuala Lumpur in 1938, it is loosely based on a paper chase, where ‘hares’ set a trail, usually in flour or chalk, for the ‘hounds’ to follow, but done so as to avoid being caught. The ‘pack’ of hounds tries to help each other with calls and other tactics, whilst the hares use their markings to hold up the pack. In KL in 1938 the ‘exercise’ was undertaken to offset growing obesity amongst the British troops from the excesses of beer and a sedentary life style but to celebrate their achievements, the ‘circle’ was conducted where honors of a ‘down down’ of drinking a beer in one, were bestowed on worthy hounds and hares for their hashing and indeed non-hashing activities of the week by the hierarchy of the Grand Master, the Religious Advisor and other appointees.

If you only have half a mind to hash, then that’s all it takes!
