1. The Run

The ultimate in misrepresentation: that the main activity of the Hash is running. A typical run is 7-9KM (4-6 km for shorts) or 45 minutes. Anniversary and weekend runs are longer.

2.Hash Respect

A Hash event is conducted by the Religious Advisor (RA) with religious seriousness. Hashers are required to pay attention to the RA (or his stand in) when he is talking. It is a Hash Crime to talk or make noise when the RA is on the floor. An appropriate instant punishment may be executed to such an offender.nd ru

3.Respect For the Comittee

(Mismanagement)

No Hasher shall use any offensive language towards a committee member. The mismanagement does one hell of a job trying to disorganize the Hash into a semblance of organized chaos. If you think you can brew a better pot of piss, you will be highly recommended to join the next mismanagement.

4.Participation

All Hashers are expected to participate fully in a Hash event. Splitting into small groups with their own sideshows, hot gossip, romantic escapades etc is not allowed until after the RA is through with the Down-Downs.

5.Registration

Registration is done before the run and after the run with a deadline of 7:10 pm. Only Hashers participating in the run are allowed to register. Registration by proxy will not be allowed. The Haberdasher (the one who sells Hash paraphernalia e.g. Hash T-Shirts designed for you to wear in your local pub and impress your friends) closes shop at 8:30 pm.

6.Registration Fees

The current weekly registration fees is Ksh 150/-, (250/- for Down-Downs, T-shirts and mugs for individual Hashers on achieving a 50th run, T-shirts for hares, and for disorganizing special Hash events. Participation without payment is not allowed.

7.Virgins/Visitors

It is the onus of the Hasher doing the introduction to brief the virgins/visitors on the Hash culture, otherwise the introducing Hasher could end up with a Down-Down. One does not get inducted into the Hash until he/she has done at least five runs. Before then, they don't even qualify for Hash freebies e.g. T-Shirts during anniversary runs.

8.Down-Down

A Hash tradition where miscreants, visitors, virgins and other deviants are punished with a Down-Down. The Down-Down involves guzzling 1-Pint concoction of malted barley, hops, destabilizers & water (also called beer), in one move or to the count of ten. The rule for the down-down is: "you either drink it or wear it" i.e. pour it over your head. Inversion of the Mug over on's head is absolutely necessary as proof of it's accomplishment (i.e. whether you have guzzled it all or not). Pouring the beer to the ground, behind you, or splashing it on others is called alcohol abuse and is the worst crime a Hasher can commit.

9.Discipline

At his whim, the RA may institute disciplinary action against a miscreant for a violation committed before, on or after the run, real or imagined, (usually a Down-Down, for a minor violation). The culprit is expected to take the punishment with a light touch. Hiding when the RA calls your name is in bad taste. The punishment may be carried forward to a later day. A more serious offense may lead to suspension or expulsion from the Hash by the Committee.

10.Participation

Hashers are encouraged to participate in Hash events as well as disorganize them e.g. set runs, arrange weekend outings, serve on the committee, contribute material for the Trash.
