20. June 2026 /

Yes, we know winter is around the corner, but a few months ago you complained it was too hot!Everyone’s feeling lazy, but let’s make the most of not boiling. People can be fun — and moving your body keeps it from melting!

Join us every Thursday at 7pm or on the first Saturday of the month at 2pm. We have walkers, we have runners, and we always have beer (or whatever you fancy).

Each week is a new location — never too far or too fast (unless you want it to be). Afterwards, we gather for drinks and a song or two in the circle.

When it is colder, dress (bring something) warm, bring a torch (flash light) and just turn up. Focus on fun, not being serious and getting out. Way more fun than sitting at home or talking with work colleagues!

SOLA Stafette 2026 – ZH3 Teams: Sign up to join

16. March 2026 /

As every year, we’d signed up to run the Zurich SOLA Relay – the largest event of its kind in Switzerland, consisting of 14 relay sections around Zurich.

We have two teams registered, so we need 28 willing r*nners, plus beer angels, backups, or cheering fans.

We celebrate the finish by barbecuing / boozing at finish in Irchel Park (around 18:00). Everyone welcome – no hash-cash for runners. CHF 40 registration for runners.

Register using this form: SOLA 2026 Hash Rego Form 
Teams and allocated legs are available here 

What is this all about and how does it work?

SOLA is a relay run around the city of Zurich. A team of 14 runners covers a total distance of 114.77 km, with 2,640 m of elevation gain across the greater Zurich area. The 14 sections range from 3.69 km to 14.11 km, making them suitable for all types of runners. More information can be found on the SOLA homepage.

As in previous years, all genders can run any section. The race starts with leg 1 at 07:30 (all our teams are registered as slow teams) in the misty Hönggerberg woods. Runners 2–7 head out toward Engstringen, up and along the Uetliberg, and then back into town. The morning section finishes at the University of Zurich Irchel campus. The afternoon runners (legs 8–12) start at 12:30. The trail heads through Forch to Egg and returns to Witikon. Two shorter legs then bring the relay to the final finish at Irchel. Our meeting point will be at the tents across the lake from the finish area.

Handover between runners is done by handshake, so it is important to arrive early for your leg. 

Please pay your registration fee of CHF 40 into the regular ZH3 account, referencing: “SOLA 2026 – [Your Hash Name]”

TBC whether SOLA will have dedicated haberdashery this year. A final party and grill will take place at Irchel Park near the finish line. 

If you would like to be placed on the standby list, please contact the GM (or other hashers).

UPDATE – Winterfest 2026 SOLD OUT

Winterfest 2026 sold out, and was loads of fun at EVIL VILLAIN ZH3 lair of Lungern, Switzerland.

  • 3 official trails, plus one for those who don’t mind a frostbitten pecker
  • Absolutely epic home made meals to warm you from the deep inside
  • All the Beer/Bubbles/Cider/yellow snow/other human fluids you can drink
  • 1 drunken Friday night party
  • 1 even more drunken Saturday party preceded by silly games followed by serious dancing

ZH3 Hash # 1669: Red Dress Run 2025

25. August 2025 /

Details

Hares: Cavity Search & Climbidia.

WHAT?
It’s exactly what it sounds like: a run (or walk) following a trail around the beautiful city of Zürich for which EVERYONE, man, woman, child, or dog, will wear their finest red frock. There will be stylish haberdashery freebies, a fabulous central location, bawdy singing, and a LOT of beer. Best of all, it’s for a good cause.

WHY?
In 1987, a woman named Donna Reinhart got gussied up for what turned out to be the worst date ever. Not only was she taken to the Long Beach Hash, she was then told to “wait in the truck” due to her unsuitable outfit. But Donna, being a total badass, joined the run in her pretty red dress. This impressed the hashers so much that they began holding a Red Dress Run annually in her honour, raising money for charity. Other hashes have adopted the custom and now thousands of dollars are generated each year for good causes around the world.

WHO (are we giving the money to)?
Once again we will be raising money for 143.ch, a mental health crisis hotline offering support for German and English speakers in Switzerland by phone, email and webchat. This is a cause close to all our hearts after the tragic loss of our beloved co-hasher Bling Dong (Matt Moss) last year. The suggested cost of this hash will be 25CHF, and you are very welcome to donate more if you wish to. If you wish to prepay, please make a transfer to the below account with the reference “RDR 2024 (your hash name)”
Migros Bank AG, 8010 Zürich

IBAN: CH74 0840 1000 0519 9117 9
Account holder: Zürich Hash House Harriers
Address: Gloriastrasse 88, 8044 Zürich

HOW?
Bring yourself, bring a dress, bring an open mind, and prepare to have fun.

WHERE?
Simply Theatre Zürich: Gladbachstrasse 119. The venue has a place to change into your finery and an emergency indoor circle location in the event of bad weather.

WHEN?
Meet at 1:45pm to start at 2:00pm. There will be a charge of CHF25.00 for participating.

/*************************************************************************/
Here’s what you need to know about the Hash:

All Welcome:
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here’s what you need to know:
• Physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humor is useful.
• The aim is to find the ‘Beer Stop’ at the end of the ‘trail’ and have fun.
• ‘True Trail’ is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running) and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The ‘Hare’, which changes each event, cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• After Trail, we group for ~30-45 minutes for drinks, snacks and some fun. This ‘Circle’ is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it’s dark).

Why bother leaving your warm sofa?
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing.

‘Hashing’ and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (Hashs) in most major cities. Its humor and ‘traditions’ can be explored on the internet – or you can just come along and find out. See you there.

We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies ‘Virgin Hashers’ and visitors from other groups.

Paella Hash 2025 (formerly known as Spitroast Hash)

26. May 2025 /

Come. Run. Circle. Eat.
