What is this nonsense?

The Madison H3 kennel is one of the oldest continuously running hashes in the country, founded in 1977 by Prince Variant and Iron Man. Both had hashed all over the world; Prince Variant came to us via Washington DC. The first hash run convened seven hashers, of which one, The Colonel, is still in the area and regularly hosting a hash or two a year. The run began near the UW Arboretum, starting a chain of hashes every Saturday since.

While most of our history is an oral tradition passed on by people with, let’s say, not the best attention to detail, we believe our GMs, since that point, were as follows: Prince Variant, Nut Farmer, Crap-On Crap-Off, Michelle Vick, My Little Porny, and Muffalupagus. In 2025, we celebrated our 2,500th hash run. In addition to our regular Saturday runs, we also host a regular Friday Night Run, which was originally conceived as an opportunity to get more running in, instead of just faffing around and drinking. These days, it’s pretty much the opposite.

We celebrate our Analversary each year, with varying amounts of fanfare depending on how much time in advance we start preparing for it. Get ready for 2027 though. It’s gonna be a doozy.
