This trio of Hash House Harriers stopped off in Hillcrest for a few beers in the middle of yesterday’s run. The HHH is an informal running club with a tradition of hare and hound races dating back to 1938. The club was formed by a group of British soldiers on Kuala Lumpur. After jungle runs the soldiers gathered at a nearby restaurant to eat corn beef hash and drink beer — hence the name Hash House Harriers. Corn beef is no longer part of the Hashing tradition, but (thankfully) beer drinking still is. This was San Diego’s 18th annual run.
