How to Be a Friend to Yourself and Others

Friendship is a privilege. Often times we find out who our friends are when things are tough. It's the people who stick by us, who guide us through rough waters, who inspire us when we are down that we count as friends.

"A Brother may not be a Friend,
but a Friend will always be a Brother."

Friendship is all about respect and you should not compromise on that on any point of time.

Message From The Founder Of PARKCITY HASH

Dear All,

Thank you so much for those who supported our first run on the 28 July @ Desa ParkCity. It made us to completing the event so much more comprehensive and entertaining.

Words cannot explain the gratefulness I feel for the good support you all gave during the event. The best I can offer is this sincere expression of profound gratitude. Without the amazing support of YOU and many others, this event would not happen as anticipated.

Hashing is FUN

June 18, Batu Hash Charity Run, the Hare, Jaws did a wonderful Mission for all who need the support...

About Batu Hash House Harriers & Harriettes, Kuala Lumpur!

Hashing is a friendly, non-competitive sport of cross country running. It has its roots in England in the mid-1800s based on the hares and hounds meets. Soon, competitive and non-competitive harrier groups were formed and spread overseas in the former British colonies.

Batu Hash House Harriers & Harriettes was formed in the late 1980s when two stalwarts met up one night and after having consumed a copious amount of alcoholic beverages, came up with the idea of setting a hash house in the Batu precinct. Meetings after meetings took place and finally the inaugural run flagged off on December 13, 1989. At present, only two of the founder members are still running in Batu; Caveman &Guinness.

Runs are held every Wednesday with no exception (unless in times of war and civil unrest), and they generally last between 1 and 1½ hours. If you are new in town, do give us a call and we'll show you the non-touristy places in the Klang Valley. And to borrow a quote from Phil "Thrill Furkhand" Kirkland, "If you've half a mind to join the hash, that's all you need".

What is Hash Run?

We all meet up at the selected run site for the evening and then run the trail which has been preset by the Hare. The entire trail consists of paper marking a route ending up where we started. Hashing puts the fun back into running. Hash runs consist of hare and hounds with the group following a trail of paper set by the hares. After the run, which lasts 60 to 90 minutes, the group gathers for a fun ceremony (Circle Led By the GM)and is then off (to a watering hole for food, refreshments, and socializing) for food and beer on site.

During the run there are signs drawn for a Hash Halt, a Check or a false trail which are designed to keep everyone together and happy. Back at the start it's time for socializing, snack, water and some beers before the Circle started.

Then the best part of the evening, the Circle! Led by GM, various Hashers are charged with a variety of offences that were committed on trail, the previous week or at some other time (some of very doubtful origin). After being charged, the poor unsuspecting individual is to be sitting on ice bar and will be presented with a glass of beer (or wine or whatever - always alcoholic) that they scull down with gusto!

It really is a lot of fun! So you're interested in hashing. Maybe it's because you've seen strange paper markings on roads and trails in the areas near the park, or you've noticed a group of people on a Friday afternoon senselessly running on the road side, forest or park near by the residence area.

As grown person, running has become something different. The fun part seems to have gone away and running is something we have to do, either to stay, or get back into shape. Hashing takes us to places that we've never been before; parks, mountains and forests, and place us into situations where we socialize.

See you at the hash, Cheers!
