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!

Chuck Noland survived 1,460 on an otherwise deserted island with only a volleyball for company. Thursday will be day 18 in quarantine and I’m over here stressing my dwindling pringles supply. Still not convinced who has it worse.
But luckily we’re all prepared hashers and stocked up on the most important supplies - beer! So break into your stash and join us Thursday as our very own Poly Pocket leads us on another zoom adventure. On on!
For information on how to join us virtually please email us at bfmhash@gmail.com
Ps. Thank you to everyone that contributed last week! This week all the suggested hash cash contributions will be going to support the staff at one of our long-time favorite hash bars O’Neals.
