Can you give me a fresher course as to what this is, please? Never heard of this but curious to know what it is.

It's a drinking club with a running problem. Essentially one member lays a trail of clues and the others follow it (running) and they end up in a bar for beers and snacks.

Sounds like a bot of fun alright, some odd traditions though

Special events


The first Red Dress Run in South America, held in Chaclacayo, Perú.


In addition to regularly scheduled Hashes, a chapter may also organize other events or themed runs.
A common special event is the Red Dress Run, and is held annually by individual chapters. According to hasher lore, a newcomer in San Diego was invited to a hash; unbeknownst to her it was a running group, and she attended the run in a red dress instead of running clothes. After being mocked for wearing such an outfit she ran the trail anyway. Other hashers began wearing red dresses as a joke and the tradition soon became an annual event that spread across the world. The point of the run is that all participants (both sexes) don red dresses of various sorts. The Red Dress Run is typically the largest event organized by a chapter in a given year, with attendance topping 2,000 in San Diego, and 600 in Washington, D.C.. The largest Red Dress Run event is currently in New Orleans, with approximately 8,000-10,000[2] participants in 2010.[3]

So. I'm thinking that this type of club is somewhere Barry can belong and feel loved. If there isn't already one I'd like to start.
