Each year, all of the Hong Kong based Hash House Harrier clubs, now numbering 14, organise a joint Hash to raise money for Operation Santa Claus organised by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK).

This year, the event is held on Sunday 10th December at 2pm, and involves a 1 hour plus cross-country run, or Hash, for all ages and standards of fitness where the runners, or Hashers, follow a pre-laid trail. Following the run there will be a ‘Circle’ where the Grand Master of the event will hand out various punishments or, DownDowns, for Hashers who have committed misdemeanours on the Hash such as short cutting or wearing outrageous running kit. During the Circle a raffle is held for prizes donated by various sponsoring establishments / organisations. Once the Circle finishes an OnOn or Bash is held, typically with buffet style food to replenish those lost calories.

Typically, well over 100 hashers take part and from humble beginnings recent years have seen us raise around HK$60,000 each year for Operation Santa Claus by contributions from the different Hash clubs, the raffle and sponsoring establishments / organisations.
