Hare and Hounds History

Scanned from Tom McNab's HISTORY OF TRACK AND FIELD

This is an ongoing project to research the prehistory of the Hash House Harriers, "the drinking club with a running problem." Hare and Hounds was being played around the world before the Hash House Harriers were formed as a Hare and Hound club in 1938. What clubs went before them? Where were they? How, if at all, was a kennel of "Harriers" different from a kennel of "Hash House Harriers?"

The truth is that most Hash House Harriers probably don't care. Of the ones who do, there is a faction that wants to award me a down-down, and another that wants to sit me on the ice. For the minority that's left, here is a meager collection of pre-1938 documents that reference Hare and Hounds.
