Chattanooga Choo Choo Hash House Harriers

Scenic City's favorite drinking club with a running (and walking) problem.

FAQ

Every kennel is different, but ChooChoo H3 includes both runners and walkers, and it’s a dog-and family-friendly event. Most trails will have short and long options, but it’s probably hilly because we’re in the fucking mountains. Like any good hash, there will be BEER, singing, smack talk, and general merriment.

We forgot how many hashes we’d done, so we started over at 69.

Around 2 or 3ish hours of BEER, trail, and kangaroo court, plus an optional on-after, usually at the nearest cheap Mexican restaurant.

No, you can walk with the turkeys.  But last in has to drink a BEER.  Darn.

No, but we recommend a noisemaker like a whistle or cowbell, chair, and change of clothes.  Bring your own BEER if you don’t like shitty BEER.

Yes.  AHABs (assigned hound at birth) welcome unless stated otherwise in the hash details.  That usually means you’ll be on the patio at bars, so decide how cold or wet you want to be.  Dogs are eligible for charges, and owners are their designated drinkers. They’re also gonna get named after they do three hashes.

Mini-hashers are welcome and trails are stroller-friendly unless stated otherwise (also check the shiggy scale).  They WILL hear naughty words, so parents should use their best judgment.  Kids are eligible for charges, and parents are their designated drinkers.  They’re also gonna get named after they do three hashes.

Turkey trails are slow and short for the walkers, and eagle trails are long and fast for the runners.  Eagles have all the fun with back checks, misdirection, and mass confusion.  Turkeys go straight to BEER.

Trails are rated on a scale of 0-5 for the amount of crap you have to run through.  The higher the shiggy score, the better it is to wear knee socks and the worst to bring your kid or dog.  Off-road running trails start at 1.

Those lucky enough to run three times with C3H3 get a NSFW name related to their personality, job, or something they did that was really stupid. If you want your own, be sure to cum and cum often.
