Goals
The goals of hashing, from a 1950 club registration card for the Hash House
Harriers in Kuala Lumpur are:
To promote physical fitness among our members
To get rid of weekend hangovers
To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer
To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel
Worldwide International Hash
There are several international events, where hashers from different groups get
together to run and drink beer together, but the most famous is the biennial
Interhash, where hashers from around the world gather. The 2006 Interhash—
Chiang Mai, offered runs in Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and South
West China. The next Interhash will be in Perth, Australia [1] in 2008
