The infamous Hash House Harriers are not everyone's cup of tea, but the Ankara Hash will certainly get you out of the city and put a little adventure in your life. I ran with them about 5 years ago ... and they're a well-organized and friendly bunch ... about half Turk and half expat. Every Sunday at 12 o'clock they meet up next to Segmenler Park in �ankaya. Then they bus you out to some reservoir or forest outside the city. You don't have to be 4-minute-miler to be a hasher ... most of the Ankara Hashers probably couldn't run one in ten minutes :-)

I presume you're wanting the Istanbul Hash's web site. Well, that would be www.ih3.org
Once on the web site, to get the most up-to-the-minute news, you should click on the IH3 logo for access to ihash yahoogroup messages.
There you'll see that there is a run planned for this evening ... meet at the place used for the Ulus Pazar at 7.15 for a 7.30 start ... the mad Greek, Yannis 'Dick Martin' Tsioros, is in charge of proceedings.
