What happens when people who love sports and beer meet together? They form a so called kennel of the worldwide Hashing movement and start their running/drinking activities.

Hashing was started by English officers some 70 years ago in Kuala Lumpur. It was all about chasing the hare and finding the trail and finally when harriers reached the end of the trail they were rewarded with beer. This interesting and entertaining tradition started by English officers in Malaysia got spread out and reached the furthest parts of the world. Armenia was not an exception on this account.  There is a big hashing community in Yerevan that regularly organizes Hashes for local harriers.

Every year we have a special event organized in our region named Inter – Caucasus Hash that brings together the Yerevan (Armenia), Tbilisi (Georgia), and Baku (Azerbaijan) Hash Houses, rotating among the three capitals. In 2009 Yerevan hosted hashers from over 25 different countries. This year Tbilisi was honored to be the capital of the Inter-Caucasus Hash 2010. Envoy has been an active member of Yerevan Hash Harriers House for almost a year; we even went to Tbilisi this year to be a part of Inter-Caucasus Hash 2010. We are not sure if we can make it all the way to Malaysia for the annual International Hash  but we are sure we’ll remain very active in our Yerevan Hash House.

ON ON dear friends!
