This week's run
On On to one of the best Hash Chapters in the world: Hanoi Hash House Harriers.
Who
The Hanoi Hash is a run / walk where old and young, quick and slow can do some exercise and sightseeing and have fun on a Saturday afternoon. Participants call themselves the Hanoi Hash House Harriers. There is no membership, just show up on a Saturday.
Join our Hanoi Hash Facebook group for more information!
What
There are two trails, a running trail and a walking trail. The running trail is usually around 9-12 km, and the walking trail is usually around 6-8 km. The trails are usually marked with flour or shredded paper or spray paint. There is a circle before the run, a beer stop about halfway, and a circle after the run.
Where
Most runs are set within one and a half hour drive from Hanoi. It is a great opportunity to see something of the countryside and daily life in small Vietnamese villages.
When
Every Saturday, rain or shine. The bus leaves at 1:30PM sharp from 36 Ngo Quyen street, near the corner with Hai Ba Trung street, in Hoan Kiem District. There's no waiting. Check the run direction for exceptions.
After
Runs are followed by an On On, an informal and sweaty dinner somewhere in Hanoi.
