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!

Dig out your mask and grab your hashy supplies, because we have yet another socially distant trail! This week we will be in Old City for a trail laid by Sargaent Snatch Snitch (or some variation of spelling, no one really knows) and the Wheels on the Bus Go Down Down Down. Chalk talk will be at Chestnut and Front street at the Irish Memorial and there will be one (possibly two) BNs on trail that will require that sweet, sweet cash and ID, so don’t forget to bring them! There is also potentially an ice cream stop on trail? The hares might just be teasing us… but better not risk it.
Please remember you must practice social distancing on trail - You may/will see other hashers on trail, and you will definitely see muggles at some point - if you are within 6 feet of another you must wear a mask. Also many people find it too challenging to run with masks, and that is all up to your comfort level! However, if you decide to r*n without a mask (staying away from other people) we still ask that you bring your mask on trail in case you encounter hashers/ you end up needing it! If you have other questions on how to stay safe on trail please reach out to any member of the 2020 misman 🙂
Oh! And remember to post a pic on trail! We miss your face…
