Hash House Harriers
Are you looking for motivation to exercise or for a few running or walking partners? Would you like to find a bunch of fun-loving folks to join for a drink? Imagine being able to combine the two - go out for a few beers and for a run. The Hash House Harriers is a running club that meets a couple times a month to run and cool off afterwards with a beer or two. If you like to run (or even walk) come on out! It is a great way to meet people. Our age group is typically late twenties to mid-forties, along with esteemed long-term members who were that age when they started! It is also a great way to get to know parts of the greater Zürich area that you may otherwise not discover.
This year in May we will celebrate 15 years of the Zürich Hash House Harriers. There are thousands of other HHH clubs in many countries all over the world. In Switzerland there are also HHH clubs in Bern, Basel, Geneva, Luzern, and a few others not associated with a particular town.

There's also the chance to make friends at our regular monthly meetings, which normally take place over a meal and often in a very special setting, including Zürich's beautiful Guild Hall, the Opera House, a Fondue boat and even the Zoo! Inspirational guest speakers or a themed event make these meetings really memorable. We encourage all club members to attend.
