Interhash

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

InterHash in a biennial (every 2 years) event, the grandaddy of periodic international Hash House Harriers events, where Hashers from different groups get together to run and drink beer together.

There are many quasi-InterHashes which are continental or national and also use "interhash" in their name (e.g. InterAmericas, Africa-InterHash) and but the term InterHash refers to the world InterHash. Attendees vote for bidding Hash kennels to choose where the succeeding InterHash will be held. The InterHash can occur as quickly as 14 months apart or with a gap of more than two and a half years, the only requirement is that the InterHash occur in the even numbered calendar year.

There is a redirect website (http://interhash.com) which presents a link to the next InterHash website as soon as the next one is determined.
