Strap on your trail shoes, dust off your sense of adventure, and prime your thirst, Beijing! The Beijing Hash House Harriers (BJ Boxer – a “Drinking Club with a Hiking Problem” since forever) are back with a cracker of a summer run: The Boxer Bash!
Forget boring sidewalks! This isn’t your grandma’s nature stroll. We’re serving up a proper Hash adventure designed to get you gloriously sweaty, slightly lost (it’s tradition!), and ready for a legendary cool-down:
1. 🚂 All Aboard the Scenic (Slightly Rusty) Express: We kick things off with a unique hike along disused railway line. Feel the history underfoot as you trek where trains once rumbled, surrounded by encroaching nature. Its industrial charm meets wilderness!
2. ⛰️ Summit Seeker’s Delight: From the rails, we ascend! Prepare for a solid climb up the mountain trails. Your calves will protest, but the breathtaking panoramic views of Beijing’s outskirts from the top will be your ultimate reward. Camera phones at the ready!
3. 🌳 Forest Bathing (Boxer Style): We plunge into the cool, shaded embrace of the forest. Navigate winding paths, dodge branches (maybe), and breathe in that sweet, earthy pine scent. It’s the perfect green escape from the urban grind.
4. 🏊♀️ The Grand Finale: River Revival! Behold the glorious payoff! We finish right beside a crystal-clear river flowing near the iconic Beijing Summer Palace. Shed those sweaty threads (swimwear recommended!) and dive into the refreshing, cool water. Float, splash, laugh, and wash away the trail dust. Pure, unadulterated bliss!
It`s shiggy, long sleeves and long pants are recommended, as no bleeding is allowed on boxer trail.
Tail is not Dog friendly.

The Beijing boxer hash is an off-road running hash going out to the hills around Beijing once/twice a month. We usually aim for the second/third Saturday of each month, but may vary depending on the hares’ availability and other variable factors we have zero control over. Be prepared for variable weather conditions: snow, ice, heatwave, storms.
We’re a running hash. It’s ok to walk but not to lallygag. Keep moving… Heart attacks are not permitted. As we are out on mountain trails, it’s easy to get lost. Please bring a phone with you! We may or may not send a search party looking for you. If we do, chances are it will consist primarily of rabid dogs and hungry wolves. That being said, we are glad to have you join us and hope you enjoy a great day! (by the way, no you won’t be back for your important dinner date bring them along instead)
