It had its first run on 13th December 2018 with a total of 6 hashers who all decide to Hare the run being its first and maiden edition, these hashers were Navigator, OneTrouble, Away run, Night nurse (Port harcourt) lick it, and a nameless hasher who had just joined
EDOH3 soon got an Alia’s known as the kennel of the *mighty men & women due to the fact that very few hashers do major projects or organize major events as if they were far more than their numbers.
EDOH3 is the daughter kennel of BCH3 and her birth was hugely necessitated by the fact that at that time, many new hashers started coming for runs all the way from the GRA, a huge distance from the usual Ugbowo, isior areas as at then so the decision to create a kennel within the GRA bore great fruits.
*The logo of EDOH3 is a very unique one with the traditional Benin royal elements (the Ada and Ebe) at the center of it being the symbol of the Edo culture, tradition and philosophy, with a prominent gold and black design, depicting, respect for tradition, merriment, unity and friendship above.
EDOH3 runs on Fridays, twice in a month mostly on urban or metropolitan trails, with trails marked with Chalk and often moderate distances. Rego is always set at N1,000
Average run span right from the announcement of the “on-on-out back to the circle (point origin) is often between 25 – 30 minutes of intense running, brisk walking, chanting of hash songs and drinking with a lot of excitement, pulp and pageantry.
The original home base of EDOH3 is Akhionbare Navigators bar in GRA, off Ihama Benin city.
EDOH3 mismanagement has a calendar tenure of 2 years and is known for its mega hash calendar bi-annual event known as the EDOH3 BEER FESTIVAL
The kennel has had two Hash masters over it’s years of inauguration, immediate past being HM Navigator and currently run by HM OneTrouble
