The Hash House Harriers, heard of em? If you're a runner (or even if you're not) and you're fond of chugging beer, then this eccentric club may be preparing your pledge name in a country nearby. (And be careful, they show no mercy in this department). With over 1700 groups in every major city in the world, these people who call themselves the “drinking group with the running problem” play a game of hare (runners who set the trail) and hounds (runners who seek the trail). Before, during and afterwards, there is hooliganism, debauchery and a lot of golden beverages. But it's quite a hoot and a great way to make friends in a new country.
