Montclair's Hash-Inspired Fun Run

Strap on your shoes, grab your hash gear, and join Fleet Feet Montclair and Hoka for a night that will be epic, our first ever Hash-inspired Fun Run!

What is Hashing?

Hashing is a non-competitive mixture of athleticism and sociability, hedonism and hard work. Hashing is an exhilaratingly fun combination of r*nning, orienteering, and partying, where bands of Harriers and Harriettes chase Hares following the trails of 3-5ish miles. All in search of exercise, camaraderie, good times and beer!
