Chatfield Plogging Event
Put on your running shoes and come for a rewarding combination of picking up trash and jogging!
About this Event
What is plogging? Plogging is a combination of jogging with picking up litter, merging the Swedish verbs plocka upp (pick up) and jogga (jog).
We will pick a new trail to jog every month. The total distance may average around 1.5 miles, depending on the amount of trash found. Please bring your own water, sunscreen, and running shoes (that you don't mind getting dirty). The park will provide trash grabbers and bags.
Registration is required.
