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 # 823: I Like Big Butts Trail @ Drinker's (Old City)

 When:
Thursday, November 21, 2019
7:30 PM Gather
8:00 PM On-out!

Where:
Drinker's Tavern
124 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106​

Hash Cash: 
$10
​
Hare(s):
Sphincter Grease, Ass Ass In Nation & Roadside ASSistance

Pubic Transit Options:
Take the El to 2nd Street and ON IN less than a half block east (towards the river).​

Hop on the subway, sit in the caboose, jump off in Old City and get your fanny out to the hash this Thursday! This week, we’ll be honored with not one, not two, butt THREE hares! These hares know that they are not too big for their britches and that teamwork truly makes the dream work. For this week our asses assemble as Sphincter Grease, Ass Ass In Nation & Roadside ASSistance will zoom-a-zoom-zoom-zoom with their poom pooms though the street of Philly as we celebrate a glorious ASS TRAIL. So if you like big butts, get your badonkadonk over to Drinker's! With the bright light of the full moon* shining, and our gluteus hare’s working their butts off, nothing will hinder them from giving us the best damn trail of the year!

Yes, kiss your keister goodbye. This week’s trail will be the trail to end all trails. I’m not just brownnosing here. You don’t want to miss this one! There really isn’t anything this week that could give you pause. Easy location, great bar, a thoroughly marked trail and guaranteed to have lots and lots of bums! Not one thing that could be considered a pain in the pants.

You know Drinker's, a classic BFM bar that sadly closed and then rose from the asses to serve the BFM once more. Usually, we're in the bottom bar, butt this time, we arse looking to move on up and circle upstairs...we'll see how that goes (can't be worse than El Bar last year, can it?). Grab some tacos at the tail-end of circle, the kitchen will remain open with flavorful foods that don’t require a salt shaker. Get your ass out and cum celebrate butts this Thursday with the BFM!

* Just to clarify this is not a Full Moon trail. Still BFM here. Hopefully you don’t get the two kennels confused because they’re extremely different. The differences are night and day, apple(bottom)s and oranges…ok, I’ll see my ass out.

Marath*n Beer Check

​It's that time of year again, when we try to drink some sense into those race-ists in the Philly Marath*n. Cum join us in from of the Regal UA Main Street Theater and Manayunk Wine & Spirits for the Marath*n Beer Check!

Bring your sexiest onesie and your outdoor voice, it's gonna be a long day. 

When:
Sunday, November 24 7am-3pm

Where:
3720-40 Main Street
Manayunk, PA 19127

...also known as mile 19 and 21 of the marath*n, just down the stairs from Wissahickon ​Train Station (hint hint on how to best get there)

​Hash Cash:
Chip in what you can, you'll be drinking and eating and screaming and onesie-ing all day!

Anything Else?
Wear a onesie. Make lots of noise!

ITS FINALLY HERE!! Waking up at butt crack o'clock, cheering for race-ist assholes, passing out beer hand over fist, eating, getting drunk, and having the best time ever! We will be stationed, as always in Manayunk, at miles 19 and 21 freezing and dancing our asses off to try and make 26.2 miles slightly less miserable for those crazy enough to r*n. So are we asking you to r*n a maratho*n? Fuck no! Cum drink and pass out beer! It will start out slow at first but get faster and faster (harder and harder) and eventually r*nners will be clawing at you for instant carbohydrates like brain starved zombies. So all hands on deck needed.

Costumes (onesies!!) and noisemakers are highly encouraged. 

Please note that the streets will be closed - it would behoove you to carpool, take public transport, or sleep in the streets of Manayunk the night before.
