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 usually 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 (duh) of the site.
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. Sooner or later everyone who has run or “hashed” with us is given a “hash name,” usually for something they did that is notably stupid, and sometimes for no good reason at all. It’s all in fun, and it’s all a lot of fun. See you Thursday night!

You’ve been talked at about it countless times, you’re dehydrated from the number of wet dreams it has caused you and after all the buildup and anticipation it is finally here. This Thursday cum pay tribute/partake in the evolution and final form of one of, if not the oldest standing tradition in the entire city of Philadelphia – GRITTY R*N WEEKEND. What once was Philly Green Dress has been shattered into a million pieces, spread to the sixty-nine corners of the Earth, regathered and rebuilt - better, stronger, drunker than ever before. Looking to the future and the past all at once, the time is nigh – THE GRITTY IS UPON US!
As the BFM christens the cacophony of chaos that will surely one day engulf the entire world in a new (and better) orange drunken stupor, we pay tribute to the past and honor the Green Dresses of yesteryear by having our own Green Dress R*n to kick it off! Yes, that’s right, what once was the main event on this hallowed hash holiday weekend is now the forer*nnerer to the dreams and nightmares that await us on our journey to the other side. Kiss your loved-ones, your kinda-liked-ones and anyone else who's willing farewell as we embark on an odyssey of inebriation filled with Irish colors, ladies clothes, googly eyes and crackhead ginger beards.
WEAR YOUR SLUTTIEST or NICEST GREEN DRESS (I HONESTLY DON’T KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THOSE TWO TYPES OF DRESSES OR WHY I’M STILL YELL-TYPING) OR DRESS-LIKE ATTIRE. FOR THOSE DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION there will be FREE HAB! For those not dressed for the occasion there will be…extra costs for hab. I would say shame as well, but this the hash, you all ran out of shame years ago (plus we love you and just want you to join us regardless).
A schedule of the whole weekend can be found here: https://hashrego.com/events/phillyh3-gritty-rn-2019?fbclid=IwAR0etvCA9c47RR3UaQ283TNzY2DsXGYDyCccn_TeRvT_T_QXCmr4Ed4Kd3k (hint REGO ASAP if you still haven’t!) and below:
Make sure you’re here for the ENTIRE WEEKEND. If not, it is GUARANTEED to haunt you in the twilight of your life. Don’t live a life of regret. Cum on out!
