Plogging

Plogging comes from combining, “plocka” in Swedish “to pick up” and jogging. Get fit and at the same time clean up; it burns more calories than conventional jogging and is much more rewarding. Caring about your environment and community begins with looking after the area around you! Learn more: https://www.goplogging.org/welcome

• Run/Jog your favorite 5k route and pick up trash along that route.
• Keep your GPS tracker on so we can see where you cleaned and submit a screenshot of your tracker along with the trash you picked up to hcrcraceseries@runharford.com
• Share your plogging adventure on social media with hashtags #goplogging #ploggingHCRC
• Complete any day during the series before EOD March 31st.
