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!

BFM # 819: Mischief in Manayunk @ McGillcutties
|
When:
Thursday, October 24, 2019 7:30 PM Gather 8:00 PM On-out! Where: JD McGillicuddy's 111 Cotton Street Philadelphia, PA 19127 Hash Cash: $10 Hare(s): Jug Stain & Under the Siege |
Pubic Transit Options:
That far far off land of Manayunk is only accessible two ways - by regional rail or bus. Imho, the easiest way to get there is to take the Manayunk/Norristown line (formerly known as the R6) to Manayunk station, ON IN 3ish blocks down Cresson Street (towards Center City) to Cotton Street across from Pretzel Park. Otherwise, you can take the 9, 124 or 125 buses to the Wissahickon Transportation Center and then transfer to the 35 or 61 Bus, which takes you all the way to the corner of Main Street and Cotton |
True trail! nervous very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The true trail is a mark to sharpen your sense of where the trail leads not destroy, not dull them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth, but not a single "ON ON". I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad?
Well with Jug Stain and Under the Siege haring into the shiggy of Manayunk, you never where trail will go. Cum out to Cutty's (the MANAYUNK ONE, NOT THE ROXBOROUGH ONE) this week for a trail that will leave you haunted. For as the steady beat to our Halloween spectacular Fear-adelphia gets louder and louder (rego now if you haven't! https://hashrego.com/events/bfmh3-fear-adelphia-2019), this penultimate trail will function as our mischief night. So cum in costume, cum with demonic deeds in your heart, just cum this week and see what wicked shiggy shenanigans our hares have in store.
...and bring a headlamp.
Yes, we (and by that I mean the BFM, Philadelphia Hash and Philly Full Moon) are throwing a 4 day Halloween banger. Grab your liver, grab your costumes and get the fuck over here for the best damn Halloween you've ever had. Details can be found here.
