The Devonport Hash House Harriers is a lively and active sports club located in Devonport, Australia. The club organises regular running events in various locations around Devonport and its surrounding areas.
The club's main activity is hashing, which combines a fun run with socialising and camaraderie. The runs are organised by different members of the club, known as hares, who set a trail for the runners to follow. The trail may include various obstacles, challenges, and checkpoints along the way. The runs usually take place in scenic outdoor locations such as parks, trails, and beaches.
The club welcomes runners of all levels, from beginners to experienced athletes. The runs are non-competitive and focus on the enjoyment of running and socialising. Participants can run or walk at their own pace and there is no pressure to finish first. The emphasis is on having fun and enjoying the company of fellow runners.
The club meets regularly on Monday evenings, with the runs typically starting at 6:30 pm. The meeting point for each run is announced prior to the event, along with any additional information such as required equipment or special themes. The club also has a “Receding Hareline” that lists upcoming runs and hares for future events.
In addition to the regular runs, the club also organises special events and celebrations. This includes an Annual General Meeting (AGM) and a Christmas Hash Break during the holiday season.
To stay updated on the club's activities and announcements, members can subscribe to the Devonport Hash mailing list or join the club's social media groups. These platforms provide a space for members to connect, share photos and stories, and coordinate plans for upcoming runs.
Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun and active social experience, the Devonport Hash House Harriers welcomes you to join their community and explore the beautiful outdoors of Devonport.
