Detailed description (English): Plogging means jogging and picking up a litter. It's a slow tempo run with benefits for yourself and the environment.
We want to organise a plogging race in Vilnius on September 17th to show how it works for new ploggers, motivate citizens of Vilnius to go plogging every day and create a plogging community in our city and other regions of Lithuania. Next season we are planning to make more races, educational events and meetups to involve more people in plogging.
Target group(s): runners, eco-active people, citizens of Vilnius, active people and sport lovers
Objectives: Our main aims are to involve more citizens into this international movement in Lithuania; motivate them to go plogging with the friends or family, or during their city runs; keep green areas, city parks, rivers and forests clean and comfortable; promote physical activities and health among the citizens; show the real pollution situation.
