The Madrid Hash House Harriers,usually abbreviated to MH3, is the Madrid chapter of the worldwide network of Hash House Harriers clubs.
Our group, founded in 1984, attracts around 50 or so memberseach week for a run in the countryside surrounding Madrid.
The club is open to people of all ages, sexes and levels of fitness! If you have half a mind, join the Hash as one of our sayings go! The meetings have a good mixture of "exercise and socialise" and are a great way to meet a new crowd of strange friends in a strange city.
The runs usually last about an hour, during which you will follow a pre prepared trail. This trail contains a number of Check Points and FalseTrails which are designed to keep the runners and the walkers amongst the group together. If you can run, stagger, walk or crawl you are up to the job! In fact, its totally Non-Competitive. Run for Fun is our motto!

When Do We Run? How Often?
We run-off every Sunday at 13.00hrs.
However please look at the Next Run page for exact timings for any given week as some "special" runs (eg pool parties) may take place on a Saturday. You have been warned.
After these runs we will head of to an inexpensive local restaurant for a "menu del día" and a glass or three of vino supremo and during the warmer months we most often take a picnic lunch and sit out and enjoy the sunshine. Again, look at the Next Run page for details of each individual run.
All this for a run fee of a paltry 4 euros which pays for copious quantities of amber nectar and refreshments.
If thats not enough for you, then let's not forget:
* The First Friday of every month run! "Fank Fuck it´s First Friday at Fat Larrys" or FFFFF Run as its known!
We meet at 21.00H in Larrys Bar, Calle Alberto Alcocer 7, Madrid (Metro Cuzco) for a short blast around the city followed by "Drink till you Drop" in our favoured watering hole!
* The Turd Friday of every month run. Usually from a metro stop or someone´s house on the third (turd?) Friday of each month. All meeting points to be found on Next Run page.
