These events will take place on the second Saturday of every month and vary in locations.
Supplies will be provided.
All of our events are FREE. Just show up and make a difference!
WHAT IS PLOGGING?
In Sweden, environmentally conscious runners have taken to collecting plastic litter during their runs. The aerobically taxing and rubbish-collecting activity has been named “plogging” – a portmanteau of “jogging” and “plucking”. Founded by Erik Ahlström, Stockholm-based group Plogga aims to use the city’s runners as a force for good. His team of ploggers pull on their disposable gloves, grab a bin bag, and scan the streets for litter along their route. Once the bag is full, it’s deposited in an appropriate recycle bin, cutting down on the amount of plastic making its way to the ocean.
HOW DO I SIGN UP?
All of our Events are FREE! Just show up and help make a difference.
You don’t have to be a runner to participate. We will break up into two groups: First, will start their run and end at our Pick Up location to start collecting trash. Second, will just focus on trash pick up!
All ages and abilities are welcome.
PICK UP & JOG TEES:
Shirts will be available at all our Events with a suggested donation to the Outside Foundation.
