Kampala Hash House Harriers (KH3) was founded in July 1986 with 37 Hashers, all of whom were expatriates. KH3 has since come a long way, and presently over 100 Hashers from all walks of life, from firemen to bank managers, students to doctors, assemble every Monday at 6 p.m. at a different location in or around Kampala.
They enjoy a good “run” that lasts for about one hour, followed by the traditional communal “circle”, when “sinners” are ‘fined’ for transgressions and misdemeanours on the trail, after which Hashers mingle deep into the night over a few (or rather several) cold beers. The Hash venue is chosen by individual Hashers on a rotational basis. Every Monday’s Hash is hosted by a Hasher who assumes the title of “hare” for the day, and whose job it is to set a trail that is tracked by the Hashers as a group. The hare chooses the venue, arranges the food and ensures that there is a constant supply of cold beer.
KH3 charges each Hasher a nominal fee to cover the cost of the food, water, fruit and general overheads. At the end of the year, KH3 hosts an annual “Hash Bash” where the surpluses painfully accumulated throughout the year are blown on beer, fun and entertainment for the hashers who have so diligently contributed to the hash every Monday.
