INTERHASH QUEENSTOWN MARCH 2024

Kiwi hashers put on a mighty Interhash in Queenstown from 8-10 March 2024.

Set against the stunning backdrop of The Remarkables, the Queenstown Event Centre welcomed hashers from around the world to run, walk, drink, eat and party, and experience kiwi hashpitality!

Around 1800 hashers from Australia to Vanuatu attended, some taking part in pre and post-ambles as well as the main event - such as the Interhash Rugby Game and the Red Dress Run - which raised a whopping $11,000 for the Cancer Society!

An imprssive range of trails showcasing some of Queenstown’s best scenery were up for grabs, including around Arrowtown, up Queenstown Hill and circumnavigating Lake Hayes. Trails ranged from a 27km ballbreaker with 1000m of elevation, to a Lord of the Drinks pub crawl, and everything in between. 

With a Lord of the Rings theme on Saturday night, hobbits, orcs, goblins and elves were spotted en masse - some of them dancing the night away to the amazing band LA Social. Then of course, there were the hash acts, with a few sheep making an appearance during none-other than Hammersley’s contribution.

Thanks to everyone that came along and contributed to a hugely successful and fun Interhash. An extra special thank you to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly to showcase New Zealand hashing at its best, and an even bigger thank you to the committee who made it possible! The committee is still catching their breath and tidying up the massive weekend, a more detailed hash trash may follow. 

On on to the next Interhash which will be hosted by Prambanan Mendut, Indonesia from 8-10 May 2026. Register at https://interhash2026.com/
