The Houston Hash House Harriers was started in 1979 on the banks of Buffalo Bayou and has been hashing ever since through the mud, the shiggy, the streets of Houston and the surrounding areas. The goals of the Houston Hash House Harriers are: To promote physical fitness among the members. To get rid of weekend hangovers. To persuade older members they are not as old as they feel. If you like beer, running, and are over 21, we encourage you to come and try a new experience with a great group of people. You just might like it.
