Looking for a unique way to explore Amsterdam, meet new people, and have fun? You’ve found us! We’re the Amsterdam chapter of the Hash House Harriers , a global “drinking club with a running problem” or perhaps a “running club with a drinking problem”, you choose.
Our Amsterdam Runs
When Do We Run?
We run every two weeks (usually Sundays). Trails are laid by our hares and take you on a journey through Amsterdam’s parks, streets, and hidden gems. Expect fun challenges, false trails, and maybe a drink stop or two along the way. Check out our #nextrun.
What to Expect?
- The hare sets a trail with secretive markings you have to find and follow. If you are Dutch, think “speurtocht”.
- The trail will be a 6–10 km run or walk (your pace, your choice!).
- Plenty of laughs, songs, quirky traditions and a beerstop (yes, non alcoholic stuff as well).
- If it rains, you get wet. If it is cold, you get cold. If it is warm, you start sweating and get thirsty, we have a solution for that.
- Post-run drinks, snacks, and stories at an outdoor location, the hare’s house, or a local bar.
- We take turns in setting a trail, do not worry, we won’t bother you with that in the beginning. Visit this page if you are thinking about setting a trail.
How to join the Amsterdam Hash House Harriers
Joining us is Easy
- Check out the details of our next run.
- Show up! No pre-registration needed. Bring €5 (or pay by tikkie) and that includes all the drinks, snacks and fun you can handle. And yes, we have non-alcoholic beverages as well. Some of us are even vegetarians.
- Wear something comfortable, and don’t forget your sense of adventure.
NOT SURE YET? If you are a “virgin”, we want you to try it once and then come back, your second run is free!
Good to know
- What to wear? Walking or running shoes and something casual. Want to stand out? Order a shirt or sweater using this link for unique haberdashery. We will not be impressed.
- Special Runs: Some runs are extra special, like the Amsterdam Light Festival, Carnaval in Brabant, or “Gay for a Day” during Pride week. Check for the schedule and save the dates.
- See what runs we did in the last 24 Months
- How many runs you did and how often you hared
- Yes, we are on FaceBook and we work with an app called Harrier Central. But to be honest, all you need is the info on this website.
- We take turns in setting trails. Do not worry, we will not bother you in the beginning and one of our experienced hares will be assisting you the first time you volunteer to set a trail. You want to ? Contact our friendly neighbourhood Hare-Raiser. Read all about it here.

Code of conduct
What could possibly go wrong, but just in case
The Amsterdam Hash House Harriers want to make sure that everyone can have fun and drink beer (or a beverage of choice). We strive to ensure an inclusive, safe and respectful environment for everyone who wants to be part of our hash.
We do not tolerate bad behaviour where hashers assemble. This includes but is not limited to the following:
- Verbal and physical threats, harassment, violence, abuse
- Non-consensual sexual conduct. Consent is mutual, informed, specific, freely given, and reversible, and it is required. No means no; the absence of a ‘no’ is not consent; someone who is severely intoxicated cannot consent; if someone changes their mind, respect their choice; and if you are unsure, ask, and respect their response.
- Bullying, slander, rumours on any (digital) platform used by hashers to communicate
- Non-consensual photography and the sharing of it
- Theft or misappropriation of belongings
- Underage drinking of alcohol, driving under the influence
If you violate this policy:
Hashing and crashing are privileges. If you are a safety risk to others, you may be removed and not welcomed back to the hash. Inappropriate behaviour is subject to removal from the hash and/or crash space for the day, for a period of time, or permanently at the discretion of Mismanagement.
If an allegation is brought to Mismanagement, they may request that the hasher(s) involved stop attending the hash for a period of time. This is not a presumption of guilt, but to avoid potential conflict while Mismanagement discusses the situation.
How do you get help if you need it?
Talk to someone from Mismanagement or another hasher you trust to point you in the right direction.
If you need help, we can:
- Have your back;
- Listen;
- Support your choices;
- Get you a buddy for trail;
- Provide you a safe crash space;
- Remove someone from the hash, event and/or crash space;
- Direct you to other resources to help you.
We are hashers through and through!
This Code of Conduct was adapted from one used by many hashes around the world.
Hash Songs
We sing a lot, we have an inappropriate song for every occasion in the circle. Visit this page for nice collections of down-down songs and learn them all. Before we break up for the on-after, we close the circle with either of these two songs.
Hashing with Some Passion
5-Pack came up with HIS ode to OUR joy. The tune is “Ode to Joy” by Ludwig von Beethoven
We go Hashing
With some passion
– Running here and checking there –
If it’s True Trail
‘On on’ we’ll yell
– If we’re lost we’ll blame the Hare –
Then we Circle
Grab a beer, chill
– Try to Down Down everyone –
Don’t take offence
In our defence
– We’re only here to have some fun –
Hashing in Amsterdam
Lyrics by Missing Link and Excremental Earnings on the tune of “Tulips from Amsterdam”
Next Sunday we will meet again
– Hashing in Amsterdam –
We’ll circle up and we will have
– Down Downs in Amsterdam –
We’ll check it out and try each way
– ARE YOU ! in Amsterdam –
. First a false trail .
.. Now a back check ..
… Where’s the beer stop …
…. Are we on yet? ….
So when we meet again,
– It will be ON ON ! in Amsterdááám –

June Madness
SPECIAL – Away Hash on June 15, 2025
by No Leeway / Wageningen H3
NOT SURE YET – WAITING FOR DETAILS
Another June Madness by Wageningen H3. You thought Wagening died a silent death, no way. They are still live and kicking.
To be clear, this is a Wageningen Hash run. Let know if you are coming on THEIR facebook or pm the hare Lee Kirk (No Leeway) on FB messenger https://www.facebook.com/groups/wageningen. NOT not Amsterdam Harrier Central or FB.
June Madness means we do short runs (a few km’s), but every hour, on the hour. We keep that up till late in the evening. Only a few make all the way to the end. Ample beerstops and food and breaks throughout the day. Details follow shortly.
