Describe your group.

The Hash House Harriers are an International Group founded in 1938 with over 70,000 active worldwide members..we're only about 20 in Zürich (at the moment!) We are a social running (we have a lot of walkers as well!) group that focuses on on the social element rather than just running.

We meet regularly (once a month) and soon every other Monday (from 5th October).

What is unique about your organization?

We are a running club that focuses more on the social aspects (networking, having fun and generally enjoying ourselves) than getting extremely fit.

Our aim is to bring together local Swiss people and expats who want to socialize and have a bit of exercise at the same time. It's a great forum to meet new friends and potentially travel internationally as we have a large number of International Events.

Members come in all shapes & sizes, races, ages and fitness levels. We cater for young and old, fast or slow, fit or 'not-so-fit'! The main prerequisites are a sense of humor, willingness to meet new people,open-mindedness, tolerance and a general sense of fun. We are mainly English-speaking but most of us can speak (some) German..Most of our Swiss members are fluent in about 4 languages!
