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 # 811: The Druid's Keep (Northern Liberties)

When:
Thursday, August 29, 2019
7:30 PM Gather
8:00 PM On-out!

Where:
The Druid's Keep​
149 Brown Street
Philadelphia, PA 19123​

Hash Cash: 
$10

Hare(s):
Knights of the Pound Table & Strawberry Shartcake

Pubic Transit Options:
This one is VERY straight forward - take the El to Spring Garden, find the check at 2nd & Spring Garden and solve north, go two blocks and ON IN east down Brown Street about a block (before you cross under the El). ​

This week, we’re going from one of our most western hash locations at Gojjo to one of our most eastern ones in Druid’s Keep! And while the change in scenery may be jarring, you’ll be comforted to know that we’re continuing our post-Mayor’s Cup tradition of saying FUCK BUILDINGS as we maintain our resolve to NEVER FINISH INSIDE*! Yes, Druid’s will be opening up their big backyard to us once again and you’ll get that now familiar feeling of the wind in your hair as we, not unlike the like the ancient Israelites in the Battle of Jericho, destroy the city walls (or in this case, neighborhood property values) by stumbling around and making loud noises under the stars during circle. 

For one hasher in particular, the familiarity of Druid’s will be a heartwarming affair – Knights of the Poundtable – will be celebrating his hash-aversery and returning to the bar where he lost his virginity! Along with the rarely seen Strawberry Shartcake, Knights will be haring and reliving that special night from exactly one year ago. Help Knights celebrate. Bring tales of his adventures to share and make new ones this week! Bring your own personal and extremely awkward deflowering stories, for these are the moments that brought you to where you are today (or on Thursday, depending on when you’re reading this). At the hash. With the BFM. CUM ON OUT! 
*Ok, maybe we fucked that up at Gojjo and decided to cum inside because IT WAS JUST TOO WET (...said nobody, ever), but I wrote this bit BEFORE that trail and don’t feel like changing it now so fuckin bear with me.

Fear-adelphia!

 When:
October 31-November 3, 2019

Where:
All over the city

Hash Cash: 
Rego will be available on HashRego in due time. If you want to be the first to know show up on Thrusday! If you want to be the second to know, check out the Facebook page or the weekly email for updates.
​

As we evolve from the sub human gaggle of halfminds that we are, so too do our celebrations. With that in mind, our big November project this year is Fear-adelphia! Prepare your livers for a Halloween with the hash! There will be BEER, games, BEER costumes galore, BEER, spooky delights and probably hab too. Stay tuned for more details to cum.
