Special Hashes Throughout the Year
The hashes listed below generally happen each year. Hashes denoted with an asterisk (*) are traditions that hares have started.
Grayed-out lines are ones that we no longer do. They remain listed for historical purposes.
Ideas for other themed trails include: white dress, black dress, onesie hash, Christmas in July, or really any reason to dress up!
Occasionally, a special hash will pop up that isn’t listed here — like a wedding hash. Those are marked with the “Special Hash” category.
Who can do them? Anyone who’s willing!
Does it have to be a charity event? Nope — fully up to the hares.
What charity should I pick? If you choose to support a cause, pick any that aligns with the Code of Conduct.
How much should be donated? That’s also up to the hares. Larger themed trails can take significant time and funds to organize.
Questions? Reach out to the Hare Raiser, current MisManagement, or the current GMs at PGHH3.GMs@gmail.com.
