InterFIJI Hash is more than just a hashing event; it’s a triennial pilgrimage for hashers worldwide, a vibrant celebration of camaraderie, adventure, and the unique beauty of Fiji. Held every three years, this international gathering draws hashers of all backgrounds to the heart of the South Pacific for an unforgettable experience. With the launch of its new website and the opening of registrations for 2025, 2026, and 2027, anticipation is building for the next chapter in this exciting tradition.
What is Hashing?
For those unfamiliar, hashing is a social running/walking/drinking club with a touch of orienteering. A “hare” lays a trail, marked by flour or other indicators, for the “hounds” (the other hashers) to follow. The trail can lead through varied terrain, from urban streets to rugged trails, often incorporating checks, false trails, and shortcuts to keep things interesting. The emphasis is on fun, socializing, and exploring new places, rather than competitive racing.
