What Events Are Included in the New York City Hash House Harriers Red Dress Run Weekend?

The New York City Hash House Harriers (NYCH3) Red Dress Run is a multi-day weekend event, with activities scheduled from Friday through Sunday. According to the site's announcement of the 2018 weekend, events ran from Friday, September 21 through Sunday, September 23, marking NYCH3's 21st annual Red Dress Run. The site describes the weekend as a "blowout" and highlights red-dress hashing through high-traffic tourist areas of New York City as the signature experience. For the detailed schedule, the page points readers to its "Red Dress Run Info" section.

What the Weekend Looks Like

The announcement frames the Red Dress Run as a weekend-long affair rather than a single run:

• Friday, September 21 to Sunday, September 23 — the full event window for the 2018 edition.
• Multiple planned events across those three days, per the announcement.
• Red dress hashing through busy tourist areas — the site calls this the centerpiece, noting there is "precious little" to compare to it.

The page does not list each individual event (such as specific run times, party locations, or registration details) in the excerpt available. Those specifics sit behind the "Red Dress Run Info" link, which the site presents as the place to continue reading for the schedule.

Why the 21st Annual Matters

The announcement notes the 2018 run was "finally legal" — a joking reference to reaching the 21st edition, the traditional drinking-age milestone in the United States. This detail signals the weekend's character: the Hash House Harriers describe themselves as "a drinking club with a running problem," and the Red Dress Run is one of their most visible annual traditions, with participants running in red dresses through the city.

How to Find the Current Schedule

The information above reflects the 2018 announcement archived on hashhouseharriers.com. If you are looking for a current or upcoming Red Dress Run weekend, treat the posted dates as historical and check the site's "Red Dress Run Info" section or the NYCH3 pages directly for the latest schedule, since event dates and lineups change year to year. The site's own framing — a Friday-to-Sunday weekend of events centered on a red-dress run through tourist-heavy parts of Manhattan — is the reliable takeaway about what the weekend typically includes.
