Peoria Hash House Harriers

Peoria Hash House Harriers Peoria, IL chapter of the Hash House Harriers, an international drinking club with a running problem. You can find additional content at Peoriah3.org. On-on!

An irreverent and inclusive bunch of weirdos creatively social drinking/running (or not) in Central IL. A drinking club with a running problem. The hash is a kind of "hare and hounds" game. We often add a theme, because grown-ass adults love to go out in public wearing costumes. One or two people are the hares, and they lay a trail of flour, chalk markings, and/or biodegradable tape for the rest o

f us to follow from bar to drinking stop to bar. After the hares run off, the rest of the pack (the hounds) follow. There are dead ends and false trails to confuse and slow down the pack. In the end, we all wind up together at the on-In where we circle up, sing songs, drink some more and have a great time. Please bring a sense of humor, and leave your inhibitions at the door. If you're easily offended, you will be offended. If you're not easily offended, YOU WILL BE OFFENDED. Must be 21 years of age or older to participate. Please drink responsibly and use uber or a designated driver. More about hashing:

Trail has been scouted! RU ready to walk in the footsteps of Jesus on our Biblically accurate trail?😉Only 3.3 miles. And a surprising amount of wilderness in which to be tempted.

What is the Hash House Harriers?

​The HHH is humorously known as "A Drinking Club With A Running Problem." It combines running (or walking) with a scavenger hunt, orienteering, and socializing. Sometimes there's a theme involving costumes or additional games or goals.

• ​The Run (or "Hash") is patterned after the traditional "Hare and Hounds" game.
• ​The Hares runs ahead and mark a trail using flour, chalk, or other biodegradable items.
• ​The Hounds (the rest of the group, or Hashers) follow the trail.

• ​It's Non-Competitive: The trails are designed with false turns and check marks so that faster runners ("Front-Runners") often have to stop to find the true trail, allowing slower runners and walkers to catch up. The goal is camaraderie, not a race.
​
Post-Run Socializing: The social aspect is the main part of the club.
• ​The On-In: The trail always ends at a designated spot where refreshments, often including beer, are available.
• ​The Circle: This is the post-run gathering where participants eat, drink, socialize, and engage in humorous rituals. It often involves:
• ​Singing funny, irreverent songs (known as Down-Down Songs).
• ​"Shaming" members for perceived on-trail misbehavior (like short-cutting, having a pristine appearance, or showing competitive spirit) with playful penalties, usually involving "downing" a drink.
• ​"Virgins" (newcomers) are typically introduced and welcomed into the group.
