Foto Friday – Holyland Hashers run Tel Aviv

April 4, 2009 - 8:04 PM by

My running club, the Holyland Hash House Harriers, held a traditional Red Dress Run in Tel Aviv this weekend in celebration of our 777th run. The Hash, for the uninitiated (and yes, there is an initiation!), is an international running and beer-drinking dis-organization that specializes in fun runs. And here’s your proof:

Here we are, doing a bit of cult-to-cult dancing with some Hare Krishnas.

Ynet did a really nice video of the run, noting that, as Israelis tend to take their sports very seriously, they seemed mighty perplexed by the stampede of “Ameri-kookim” tearing down Rothschild Boulevard.

But that was nothing compared to the week before, when the Holyland Hash House Harriers met up with 40 Royal Navy sailors and flummoxed Haifa.

We are now getting set for the Tel Aviv Marathon, 10k and 5k runs on April 24th. (Despite all outward appearances, the group includes some very serious athletes). So be on the lookout! Come run with us! Or at least have a camera ready.

    2. Nice to see HHH is alive and well here. Is there a chapter in Jerusalem, or just Tel Aviv?
    Thanks.

    3. There was a Jerusalem Hash that folded last year. At present, Jerusalem-based Hashers (myself included) commute to the Central Region when duty calls! Check the Holyland Hash blog for contact details — http://www.holylandhhh.blogspot.com/. On-on!

    4. I will visit Tel Aviv from 17th to 22nd October for the first time from Tokyo. I can join Holyland Hash House Harriers on 17th October. But, I can’t find out any E-mail addresses for Holyland Hash House Harriers. I would like to know the detail information in advance e.g. hot to get the venue.

    Could you give me the information?
