A little information the origin of The Red Dress Run The Hash House Harriers originated in Malaysia in 1938 with a few objectives in mind: to promote physical fitness among its members, to get rid of weekend hangovers, to acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer, and to persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel. This non-competitive running social club concept caught on and has since spread to communities around the world, including New Orleans. The Red Dress Run began in San Diego in 1987 by happenstance with a sassy lady wearing red. “The Lady In Red,” visiting a friend who happened to be part of the local Hash House Harriers, found herself at a hash (or run) meeting members of her friend’s running group. She wasn’t exactly dressed for the part, but after receiving some flack from a local hasher, she hit the pavement wearing her red dress and heels. The group organized the inaugural Red Dress Run the next year, after which the phenomenon spread to other hashers around the globe.
