WHY WE DON'T DO REGULAR (uYOCITYH3)
The history of Uyo City Hash House Harriers (Uyo City H3) is one rooted in fellowship, adventure, tradition, and the enduring spirit of the Hash House Harriers.
The kennel’s journey began with Uyo City H3 Run No. 001, held on 10 May 2021. This inaugural run marked the beginning of what would eventually become a formally established kennel within the wider Hash House Harriers fraternity.
Following its formative period, Uyo City Hash House Harriers was formally inaugurated on 18 June 2022, establishing its place as an officially recognized kennel and marking a significant milestone in its history.
OUR MOTHER KENNEL
Uyo City H3 was inaugurated under the guidance and auspices of Apapa Hash House Harriers (Apapa H3).
In recognition of this founding relationship, Apapa H3 became the Mother Kennel of Uyo City H3. This connection forms an important part of the kennel’s heritage and reflects the traditional bonds of fellowship, mentorship, and continuity that exist among Hash House Harriers kennels.
The relationship with Apapa H3 remains a proud part of Uyo City H3‘s identity and its place within the wider Hash community.
THE FOUNDING LEADERSHIP
At the helm of the newly established kennel was its first Hash Master (HM), Ride My Stick, who played a foundational role in guiding the kennel during its early years.
Serving as the kennel’s first Religious Adviser (RA) was Barman, contributing to the establishment of the traditions and character that would shape Uyo City H3.
Together, the early leadership helped lay the foundation upon which subsequent generations of hashers would build.
THE EVOLUTION OF LEADERSHIP
As Uyo City H3 grew and developed, leadership passed through successive Hash Masters and Religious Advisers, reflecting the continuing evolution of the kennel.
The third Hash Master was HM Sergeant Clit, who served alongside RA Pussy Programmer
Their tenure represents another important chapter in the continuing story of Uyo City H3 and demonstrates the tradition of service and leadership that has accompanied the kennel since its earliest days.
