The Calgary Hash House Harriers (CH3) is proud to be Canada’s oldest hash!
Hashing is a non-competitive cross-country run through varied terrain. Hashing is to competitive running what slo-pitch is to major league baseball. If you enjoy good times and a few (or many, many) cold beers you’re hasher material.
Joining CH3 is easy… just show up at our next run! We are always looking for new members who just wanna have fun.

History of CH3
Hashing has a colourful history. In 1938, British ex-pats founded the “Mother Hash” in Kuala Lumpur. Today there are thousands of hashes around the world. You will find at least one hash in pretty much every major city on the planet.
The Calgary Hash House Harriers were started in 1983 by a group of accountants. CH3 has continued to grow and evolve and are proud to say, we still have an OG hasher in the group from the original run.
