About
medan hash
Medan City is located on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia.
Medan is home to around fourteen different hash chapters, or kennels as some call them, with several more in nearby towns.
The first Medan hash chapter was formed in 1973 by a group of expats who had previously joined the Jakarta hash chapter.
Medan Hash House Harriers, as this chapter is named, is a men-only hash but was soon followed in 1975 by the second chapter, Medan Hash House Harriettes.
This hash is run and organised by the ladies, and is a mixed hash with both men and children welcome to join the ladies.
