27th Annual HashFest Red Dress Weekend
2025-11-14 - 2025-11-16 | Arlington Hotel Resort and Spa, 239 Central Avenue, Hot Springs National Park, 71901, United States
The Little Rock Hash House Harriers invite you to the 27th Annual HashFest Red Dress Weekend 2025, November 14-16, in beautiful Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas.
We’re back with all of the usual debauchery you’ve come to expect from the Little Rock Hash House Harriers. The city residents are anxiously awaiting our return, so start looking for that perfect red dress, and don’t forget to accessorize. (You must wear a red dress, or facsimile thereof, to trail on Saturday.)
For a paltry fee of $74.69 ($84.69 after October 15) you get all this great stuff:
1. A genuine Hashfest Gimme (If registered and paid before November 1),
2. Loads of brewski, snacks, and other pleasures of the Hashpitality Suite (the usual Al Capone Suite),
3. Three Hash Runs, including the traditional Friday Night Kilted Pub Crawl (mostly pay as you go), the Saturday Afternoon Red Dress Run, and the Sunday Morning Hangover Run, and
4. A donation to a non-profit to be determined.
Once again, the Hash will attempt to get thrown out of the historic Arlington Hotel and its epic hot tub in scenic Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. (We were SO VERY close last year!) For reservations, call (501) 623-7771 or visit arlingtonhotel.com. Regular room rates start at $109 per night. If you’d like to help us keep civilians from being annoyed by the shenanigans of the Hash Suite, ask to book a room on the 4th floor as close as possible to the Al Capone Suite.
