Other Run Info: |

A family Hash all are welcome, runners, walkers, children and we even let dogs run (as long as they are at least as well behaved and have table manners on par with the Grand Masters).
The run details are posted on the Fajara Club notice board, at Marouns Supermarket and at Churchill's by Sunday lunchtime. Or you can call Pan Body on 7972401 or Dudelsack on 9989171 and ask for information.
The Banjul Hash House Harriers was started on 2nd January 1980 and has run every Monday since then amassing more than 1,000 runs to date. It is now as much a social club as a running club, with members of many different nationalities and religions. There is definitely no pressure put on anybody to run (though you can if you wish), and there are provisions made for walkers and short cutters (SCBs). The idea of the run/walk being to try and get everybody, the runners, walkers and short cutters back together.
After the run there are cold beers and soft drinks available, with a fun raffle for charity. While membership is free we do charge weekly running fees of D50 for adults and D25 for children. We do contribute to the different charities that we have helped over the years. The Banjul Hash has helped with more than GBP25.000 to local charities since its inception. |
