Basically a hash consists of three main parts:
The Run. One or two hashers mark a trail before the hash, or lay the trail as "live hares" running ahead of the pack with only a short head start. At a given signal, the rest of the hash set off in pursuit of the trail.
The Circle. At trail's end hashers gather to drink beer. The Circle can last a couple of minutes or half the night depending on the level of the hash.
The On-On. Some hashes suspend drinking for awhile to consume food provided by the hare(s), others repair to a nearby restaurant or pub.

Hashing is the old British schoolboys' game of "Hare and Hounds", as practiced by the Hash House Harriers. In Hare and Hounds, a runner or runners are designated as Hares, and set out to lay a trail for the other runners (the "Hounds") to follow. Trail is marked with flour, shredded paper, or some other appropriate substance, referred to either as "scent" or "hash". After a suitable head start, the Hounds take off after the Hares.
The Hash House Harriers began playing Hare and Hounds in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Surrounding this simple children's game in amusing ceremony, cameradery, and imbibery, the Hash House Harriers have spread Hashing all over the world.
