Welcome welcome welcome!
The Ben Franklin Mob Hash House Harriers (BFMH3) is a Philadelphia-based chapter of the Hash House Harriers, a drinking club with a running problem which exists literally all over the world. For a quick shot of Hash House Harrier history, go here. We (kinda) run, following a trail marked by one among us (called the hare), every Thursday night somewhere in the City of Philadelphia. Usually we run about an hour to and hour and a half and cover between three and five miles, unless the hare is particularly lazy or over-ambitious. You don't have to be a great runner. The evening generally takes us where it will but the run (almost always) ends at the bar where it began. We begin and end each run at a bar because we like beer. Some of us also like running. Due to the way the trail is laid our lesser runners can stay with the rest of the pack. Don't be shy, some regulars walk half or more of the trail without issue. We’re not competitive about running, though some of us are competitive runners. We’re not competitive about drinking beer either, though many of us are better at that than at running. At the bar we “circle up” for a while, sing bawdy songs, and cause a general ruckus, all in the name of the fight against sobriety and as a way to persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel. You can learn more about us in the About section of the site (duh).
If you like to run and to drink, then come out and join us. Nothing is required except sneakers, an intact liver, and the inability to take yourself too seriously – and $10 for beer. See you Thursday night!

Woodlands 26x1: 5/11
Want to brag that you've run a marathon without being responsible for all those miles yourself?
The Woodlands 26x1 Marathon Relay
Register Here: https://runsignup.com/Race/PA/Philadelphia/26x1...
Team Name: Ben Franklin Mob
Team Password: Reach out to us by email or Dms on the multiple platforms
When: Saturday, May 11th 8AM - Noon'ish.
What: Teams of up to 13 collectively run 26.2 miles, with r*nners individually completing loops of 1 mile.
Who: You, by either participating directly or joining to hang out, cheer, and enjoy one of the more unique outdoor spaces in the city.
Why: Registrations ($20) help support The Woodlands' programs and upkeep throughout the year, including the r*nner's trail around the perimeter. It also makes our own beloved-yet-elusive Pablow Picassho (Emma Max) happy.
Other FAQs:
How much will I r*n?
-- 26 miles split among 13 people would be 2 miles each, non-consecutively. Adjust accordingly for fewer participants.
Do I need to be fast?
-- I'd rather you not.
What's our baton?
-- TBD! Previously, it's been Stan the Dora doll, a dollar-store lightsaber knockoff, a singing plastic pickle, and a pringles tube with a beer hidden inside.
Is this in a cemetery?
-- Yes!
Will there be drinks?
-- If you BYO (note: be cool, and it'll be cool).
Is it dog-friendly?
-- The Woodlands welcomes K9s of all varietals, but has a strict leash mandate for the non-human ones.
Will there be an on-after?
-- Exceptionally likely.
Will we win?
-- Hell no.
Will we place?
-- Sure, between 2nd and last.
