Plogging Week

Join Philadelphia’s Running Groups April 9th-15th for Plogging Week!

Clean Air Council, Not in Philly, Pennsylvania Resources Council, and West Philly Runners have combined forces to host the first ever Plogging Week. “What is plogging?” you ask. Well, the term is a Swedish portmanteau of ‘jogging’ and ‘plocka upp’ (Swedish for ‘pick up’). Plogging week aims to create awareness around the effects of litter on our neighborhoods and environment. Share the facebook event to get all your friends plogging!

In the spirit of cleaning up our environment while getting physical exercise, use the code ‘AlwaysBePlogging‘ for a discount in 2018 Run for Clean Air registration on Earth Day, Sunday 4/22/18.
