Hashing Quick Version (by Administrator, published Wednesday, 07 January 2009 02:14)
The hash is a cross suburb trail set by one or two volunteers, known as the hares.  The hares lay a 4-8 kilometre trail with biodegradable flour or chalk.
The runners/walkers, known as the hounds, follow this trail though the suburbs, across rivers, down streets, playgrounds and sometimes messy ("shiggy") areas, in search of the end, which is where lots of beer and food awaits the tired pack.  "Hashing" is the act of participating in the hash.

A typical hash will cost you 10,000 Won for beer and munchies part is held back to donate to worthwhile causes, can cost more on special events.

Two things you can always count on at a Jeonju Hash - beer at the end of our runs, and plenty of FUN people to socialize with every other week.
As being the newest hash in the Jeonju area, we pride ourselves on having a party-like atmosphere at every hash.

Ist Hash February 28th 2009 (by Admin Team, published Sunday, 01 March 2009 00:06)
We would like to thank the people who took time out of their busy schedules to attend the first Jeonju Hash Charity Event on Saturday. We would especially like to thank Louisa who traveled from Gunsan to participate in this event.

The Hash started at 12pm with our Hares (Darryl and Ian) setting out the trail through Cheonbukdae making a diverse and interesting trail through unknown areas of the University grounds. Everything went well setting the trail and we finished ahead of schedule.

The participants arrived on time at 3pm to start the walk and follow the trail. At the start of the trail they had two choices, unfortunately they took the shortest trail around the Lotus pond. It was amusing watching Barry finding and following the False trails and Nick finding the Live trails and still managed to get lost!

As we had limited numbers the trail took a little longer to traverse when we had exited Cheonbukdae University via the Old Gate we found that our marks had been erased or a stall had covered them! So we had to finish by cutting about 15 minutes off the Hash and headed to the End Point at Art and Travel.

We would to formally thank Art and Travel for hosting the first Hash even though we had limited numbers.

We have raised a total of 40,000Won on this occasion for the orphans in Jeonju. We can do with more support from our community. If anyone would like to be a Hare or see job descriptions on our website for the next Hash please leave a message on our forum or email us direct from the site.

Hash the Change (by The Hammer, published Monday, 30 March 2009 15:51)

Even though the Hash is a drinking group with a running problem, we welcome everyone from any walk of life. Feel free to bring strollers, children and dogs to join in for FREE. Remember this is a light walk nothing too taxing for the unfit, that said if you want to run it then feel free to do so.

Children and non-drinkers are welcome let us know your tipple and we will supply for the ON-IN (end point).

Take a look at the Southside Hash Harriers based in Seoul, they are looking to come down to support us.

FAQ's about Jeonju Hash House Harriers and Harriettes

1. I do not drink or eat on a hash, why do I still have to pay?

The Hash is a community group and runs regularly, so it is not just for one person but everyone in the group. The money is not just used for the food and drinks, but whatever is remaining goes towards the making of basic t-shirts, patches etc that are given out to new hashers and regular hashers for free with no extra charge. We make our own chalk to mark the trails with and also promoting the group with flyers.

Everyone has to pay if they join in the hash even the those who are in charge of running group (Grand Master, Haberdasher etc).

2. Why does it cost more for a bigger event?

On the bigger events the cost is a little higher because the normal cost is not enough to cover everything that is planned for the event. Hence, why some of the funds from previous hashes are held back to subsidies the bigger events. What we pay for on these events are; the food, which is normally a bbq with salad etc; the drinks, which is bought in greater quantities; and special patches/t-shirts for the event.

3. Why are there not many people on the hash?

We live in a transient community where people do not stay for long. It is very dependent upon the time of year also as many do not like going out in cold weather or even hot weather. There are many that do the hash once and do not return, there are a few regulars who hash every two weeks and there are some who occassionally turn up.

There are hash days when the are low and there are hash days when the numbers can get to more than 30 people. Once we start having cosistant numbers we will be able to lower the cost of the Hash.

4. I did not enjoy the hash and feel I can do better. How do I go about getting involved?

Ever so often the group has a change over in mis-management. This is the chance for anyone to put themselves up to join mis-management. However, to become part of mis-managment you must turn up to the hash regularly and show committment to the group.

5. There is a trail I have found that is worth running. What do I do next?

Firstly you need to let the GM know about the trail before the day of the hash (at least a week in advance) so that it can be organised and an experienced Hare can take you out and show you how to lay trail.

There are two kinds of trail a "dead" and a "live". If you are a runner then you will do a "live" trial (which is more fun). If you are a walker then it will be a "dead" trial (pre-set trail).
