In the early ’90s, out of necessity, with growing numbers of participants at weekends, Sumatra Hash was spawned.

Meeting on a Sunday there were often 6, 7, or even 800 hashers.

Things are less frantic nowadays though, I believe.

Sumatra Hash is mixed, runs are
on Sundays with specials on
Saturday/Sunday

Nusantara Hash House Harriers was also founded in the mid-90s to cater to Medan’s residents’ insatiable appetite for weekend social activities.

Successful to the point of owning their own place to imbibe the amber nectar of hash in the middle of our local hash-country-side.

Mixed run meeting on Sundays and the usual special runs on
Saturday/Sunday

Nusantara Hash House Hazards. Founded in 1999 to accommodate the Hazards of Hash.
To be a ‘Hazard’ there are certain criteria that should (should, not must, as hash is a very forgiving society). Age, over 40 – Waist, over 40 – IQ, under 40. to name but a few. All in good fun. Just to say that the Hazards are here for the geriatric amongst us.
Runs on Monday and specials at the weekend. Men only

Batang Jaya Hash House Harriers is a men-only group of pleasantly hard-core hashers.
Dedicated to the traditions of hash and running on Wednesdays they are the must-try-to-join a run with them, if ever visiting Medan and have time on Wednesday afternoon/evening.

As mentioned, they run on Wednesdays at 5 o’clock and have mixed runs on weekend specials
