Red Dress Run is good fun for good causes | NOLA.com: “‘A drinking club with a running problem’ is the motto of the Hash House Harriers, the race sponsors, who stage the run for a good cause. Last year, 8,000 runners raised $200,000, which was disbursed to 60 nonprofit groups.
Believe it or not, the club has serious goals: to promote physical fitness, to get rid of weekend hangovers, to acquire a good thirst, to satisfy it in beer and to persuade older members that they are not as old as they feel.”
