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!

TLDR: live outdoor circle; 7pm start; 6ft rule and masks required during trail and circle; BYO beverage and vessel
We all know the saying - “if you love someone... you should absolutely hold onto them tightly and never let them leave.” We read that somewhere, it’s official.
Well sadly, this time we have to do the adulting thing *shudder* and no amount of closing our eyes or plugging our ears will stop the inevitable. On November 15, 2018 the BFM welcumed our beloved Knights of the Poundtable into our hashy world, and this Thursday… we have to say our goodbyes
SO! Let’s see him off in true hash style this Thursday with a trail he’ll never forget! And by that we do mean a trail he will never remember… adulting is a relative term
Trail/ circle safety notes:
- Everyone must social distance (6 feet minimum) on trial and during circle
- Circle is live! And we are asking hashers to BYO for circle to limit exchanges, vessels and koozies are encouraged.
- During circle, due to the singing and yelling, unless you are actively drinking/ r*nning, please keep your mask on.
- Also during circle all individuals or pandemic pods must stay at least 6 feet apart, so pick a spot and get comfy!
