Join us for Hangzhou’s Red Dress Charity Run/Walk!
Who are the Hangzhou Hash House Harriers?
The Hash House Harriers are a group of loosely affiliated running/jogging/walking groups around the world. A group of Hashers (“the pack” or “the hounds”) follow a trail set by (a) fellow Hasher(s) (“the hare(s)”) who has/have run the trail earlier that day leaving marks in flour and/or chalk so the hounds know where to run. The running is not taken terribly seriously and there are enough false trails, checks, and other tricks to keep the speedy front runners looking for the right trail while the slow and steady runners and the walkers catch up (normally while taking pictures).
Hashing began in Kuala Lumpur in the 1930s with a group of British colonial officials who would meet at the Selangor Club (also known as the Hash House) and set off to chase the hare. Nearly 100 years later, we do the same in Hangzhou, along with thousands of other kennels in cities around the world.
What is the Red Dress Run/Walk?
In 1987, a woman named Donna Rhinehart was taken to a hash in Long Beach, California, to be introduced to the sport. She was invited to “wait in the truck” until her host returned. Instead, Rhinehart joined the hash in her red dress. The following year, the San Diego Hash House Harriers sent Rhinehart an airline ticket to attend the inaugural “Red Dress Run”. Hundreds of hashers wore red dresses for the event which was widely covered by local media. In addressing the crowd, Rhinehart suggested that such hashes might be held to raise funds for local charities. This year, the Hangzhou Hash House Harriers are raising money for Heart to Heart, a Shanghai-based charity which provides corrective surgery for Chinese children from all over China with congenital heart disease (CHD) whose parents are unable to afford the surgery.
