Northboro Hash House Harriers Run

NORTHBORO HASH HOUSE HARRIERS MAKE RUNNING FUN!

On a hash run, a “hare” sets a trail unknown to the
rest of the hashers.  The “hounds” try to follow the trail because along the way there are places to stop, take a drink, and socialize, and there’s usually a party at the end.  This is not a race!

The Red Dress Run is a special Run to honor a hashing newcomer who attended her first Hash while wearing a Red Dress instead of running clothes.  After being mocked for wearing that, she ran the trail anyway.   Other Hashers of both sexes began wearing a red dress as a joke and soon the RED DRESS RUN became an annual tradition around the world.  You must wear a red dress to run this trail!
