Featured Video Hash House Harriers Seborga Run

Revealed! The Strange Rituals of a Sunday Running Cult!

Sunday. Either you put your feet up, mix up another of what you fancy and watch another 'Best of Jeremy Clarkson' repeat on satellite tele...or...you can work off that funk with a run and some fun.

A concept created in Malaysia back in 1938 seems to have worked. There are now 1,879 Hash House Harrier clubs around the world.

Every other Sunday they run off the guilt of a few jars of beer or jugs of wine... and a hearty lunch. The Riviera chapel of the Hash House Harriers was baptised in 1988. When they came to the Principality of Seborga last summer, someone must have laced their water bottles with grappa! The results are revealed in this exclusive video.

WARNING! This video clip contains some explicit language & drinking* i.e. people having fun!! *Drink in moderation, don't drink & drive. Non alcoholic beer, panaché and water are available to drivers and abstainers.

"Hashing is a state of mind -
a friendship of kindred spirits joined together for the sole purpose of reliving their childhood or fraternity days, releasing the tensions of everyday life, and generally, acting a fool amongst others who will not judge you or measure you by anything more than your sense of humor." Stray Dog.
