Welcome!

Chicago Hash House Harriers

Welcome to chicagohash.org, home of the Chicago Hash House Harriers. Here you will find everything you need to take part in the Chicago chapter of the world’s largest “drinking club with a running problem.” We meet every week of the year to run a 3 to 5 mile trail through the great city of Chicago’s streets, alleys, parks, and forest preserves. Afterwards we conduct an entertaining ceremony known as “the circle” where we enjoy cold beer and some good laughs.

We’re a very social group. Our members come from all walks of life, all age groups (21+) and all abilities of running from slow to fast. Our one and only goal is to have fun!

Look below for details on our upcoming runs or click on the links to the left to discover all kinds of info — past, present and future — about the Chicago Hash.

Welcome and On-On!

ANTHRAX 2024! DEC. 13-15

Rego is live here: https://chicagohash.org/anthrax/
See Who’s Cumming

Dates are December 13-15. Price starts at $69 per cranium, but get in quick, because prices increase as more people sign up. Also, you get a three-hour head-start before we post this in other kennels’ groups, so hop to it!

Why should I go to Anthrax?
  • Anthrax is Chicago’s premium hash event filled with cold weather, colder beer, hazmat suits, Santa hats, Malört, and people dumb enough to keep cumming back from all over the world.
  • We’re juicing it up this year: rego is capped at 200 attendees, so bring your entire polycule 😉.
  • Main event will have four trails: Walkers, Turkey, Eagle, and Ballbuster. Run them all for all we care!
  • Main event is at Brickhouse Tavern, a snowball’s throw from Wrigley Field. Go sports!
  • Dance party after circle with DJ Serial Shit Squirter.
  • Sunday Hangover trail is Dragthrax, the sloppiest drag running event in Chicago that weekend.
  • There may also be a photo booth, a masseuse, and actual Santa Claus.

CH3 Marathon Beer Stop

Chicago Hash House Harriers – Our beer stop for the marathon racists

Sunday, October 13, 2024, 9:30 AM

Venue: At the corner, or slightly north of 35th St. & Indiana Ave.

What is this?:  We hand out small cups of beer to runners in the Chicago Marathon.

How do I get there?:  Green line to 35th-Bronzeville-ITT, then walk east 2 blocks.

What do I bring?: Bring a case of cheap beer and some small (~5 oz.) paper cups. Some ice would be useful as well.

What do I do afterwards?: Our regular CH3 hash run will begin at 2 o’clock at a nearby location

Information from the organizer:

Chicago Marathon Beer Stop: Sunday, Oct 14, 2024. This is close to the Green Line 35th St stop and the Red Line 35th St. stops. Michigan mid block between 33nd St and 34rd St. Michigan is a few blocks east of last year’s beer stop. It is on the south bound section of the Marathon. We will try to have arrows from the El Stops. Hopefully.

This is a Chicago Area hashing tradition and something that hashers do around the world. We meet at a location and hand out small cups of beer to those that want it, 21+. About 2 to 3 ounces. Just a taste that really cheers them on and harmless at this point of the course. We also need volunteers to bring beer, get it the night before, and keep it cold. Five to seven ounce SOFT plastic or paper cups and trash bags (Large black), ice helps. The first wheel chairs arrive 1.5 hours after the start and then the front runners shortly after. Cheer them on. Around 10:30am it really starts to get hectic and a lot of fun.
