Weโre Sydney Thirsty Hash House Harriers, part of the worldwide Hash House Harriers โ a Drinking Club with a Running Problem!
What Weโre About
Sydney Thirsty Hash House Harriers (STH3) is where trail running meets social chaos.
We don't care about your PB or your fancy gear. Some of us are front-running fanatics, some are casual joggers, and plenty of us are dedicated walkers who prefer a scenic stroll that ends at a cold drink.ย
Whether you're hitting the "shiggy" (the mud) or just taking the direct line to the pub, you're doing it right.
We care about that moment the trail ends and the social side begins. We provide the trail, the friendly faces, and the refreshments.
๐ Meeting Details
โข When: Every Thursday at 6:30 PM (rain, hail, or shine!) and the first Saturday of each month. See upcoming runs or join our Facebook group for the next start location.
โข Where: A different spot each week, usually in or around the city, Inner West, or Lower North Shore.
โข What to wear: Anything from proper running gear to a work suit (honestly, weโve seen it all). Most people wear comfortable gym clothes. If itโs winter, bring a warm layer to throw on.
โข Cost: $10 per run, with drinks and light snacks included. Discounts available if you prepay.
๐ Bags & Gear
Thereโs always someone to mind your gear, so you can bring a bag and leave it during the run.
๐ท Photos & Media
We love capturing the fun! By joining our events, you agree that photos and videos may be shared on our public Facebook page and private Facebook group, Instagram, or other media for publicity.
๐ Our Values
Weโre an adult group, and we can get a bit cheeky, but weโre always welcoming and inclusive. Participation in our events (running, walking, drinking) is at your own risk, and we aim to create a safe, fun environment for everyone.

2. What else do you do besides running?
Weโre a drinking club with a running problem, so the social calendar is just as important as the trails. Beyond our weekly runs and walks, we host a variety of events throughout the year:
Frinks (Friday Drinks): Spontaneous Friday night catch-ups at local pubs.
Weekends Away and Seasonal Celebrations: We organise weekends away and have an official end-of-year Christmas Party.
Is this a competitive club?
Absolutely not. Whether youโre a front-runner, a casual jogger, or a dedicated walker, youโre welcome. We value the "social" in social running above all else.
3. Is this like those other Sydney run clubs?ย
No. If youโre looking for high-performance coaching, sunrise selfies, the latest performance gear...those other guys are great.
Weโre for the rest of us. We measure progress in pints, not paces. We run (or walk) to catch up with friends, enjoy a drink together, and have a laugh. If youโre sick of the 'performance' of fitness, come have a drink with us.
4. Do I have to register?
Nope! Just turn up, and youโll be welcomed with open arms.
5. Can I bring gear? Is there somewhere to leave my bags?
Yes, most people bring a bag. Thereโs always somewhere to leave your gear and someone to mind it while you run or walk.
6. Is there a cost?
$10 includes drinks (beer, cider, wine, soft drinks, water) and light snacks (e.g., chips). Discounts are available for members that prepay.
7. What if I donโt drink?
Thatโs totally fine! We have plenty of members who donโt drink, and soft drinks and water are always available.
8. What if I donโt run?
No worries! Each week, thereโs a walkerโs trail to follow, and youโll be in good company with other walkers.
9. Why are you called the Sydney Thirsty โHash House Harriersโ?
The Hash House Harriers (HHH) is a global phenomenon, started in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur by British expats. Itโs now a worldwide network of over 2,000 chapters, blending running, socializing, and a bit of mischief.
Charter Objectives created in 1950 were listed as follows:
To promote physical fitness among our members.
To get rid of weekend hangovers.
To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer.
To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel.
10. What does coming along to Sydney Thirsty get me?
When you join us, youโre automatically part of the global Hash House Harriers community! Love to travel? Meet up with the London HHH, Saigon HHH in Vietnam, Samurai HHH in Tokyo, or San Francisco HHH on your next adventure. Itโs a fantastic way to explore a city and meet locals.
11. Who can attend?
Weโre a friendly group of Sydneysiders from all walks of life โ different occupations, backgrounds, and ages. Weโre open and welcoming, and we often have international visitors from hash groups worldwide. Come along and join the fun!
