Geneva H3

Two great hashes in one great town: Leman-Genève Hash House Harriers run every Monday evening and usually once a month at weekends. Swiss Franc(e) Hash House Harriettes run every Wednesday evening. Each meets somewhere in the Geneva region (canton of Geneva or neighbouring Vaud or France) and runs for about an hour, ending up with drinks and then go on for a meal. Normal cost for the run is CHF5 (to cover beer, snacks, etc.). If you go to the "on on" (meal afterwards), it's usually CHF10 if it's at someone's house or whatever it costs at a restaurant (hares are encouraged to find restaurants where the cost is no more than CHF20, but that's quite difficult to manage in most parts of Geneva).

Set a trail!

It's not difficult! Your friends are:

  • the magnificent "Maxi-Plan sur Le Grand Genève" - the yellow-covered map of Geneva which is still the best way of seeing the footpaths of the Canton
  • MapMyRun.com - a brilliant way of planning out a run and making sure that run and walk are the right length (about 7.5km and 4km plus falsies and checkbacks!)

Your other friends are the trailmasters (Efes and Frog Chopper). They're always keen to get more hares, and if you need some help, they'll try to point you in the right direction. Or barge you out of the way, depending on whether you're standing between them and an urgent beer, obviously.
