Welcome to Plogging in the UK
A combination of jogging and picking up litter to help keep our environment clean while staying fit!
Why Plogging?
The UK’s natural beauty is something to cherish, but litter remains a growing problem in urban and rural areas alike. Plogging offers a simple yet effective solution: as you jog, you pick up discarded rubbish, ensuring your local environment stays clean and green.
Improve cardiovascular health
Strengthen your muscles (hello, squats and lunges while picking up litter!)
Reduce stress and promote mental well-being
Make a tangible difference in your community
How to Get Started
Gear Up: All you need are comfortable running shoes, gloves for handling litter, and a reusable bag or bin liner.
Pick Your Route: Choose a path that inspires you – whether it’s a city park, countryside trail, or urban street.
Set Your Pace: Whether you’re an experienced runner or just starting out, plogging can be adapted to any fitness level.
Stay Safe: Watch for traffic and hazardous items. Always use gloves and wash your hands afterward.
Join the Plogging Movement
Plogging isn’t just an individual activity – it’s a community effort. Across the UK, groups of ploggers come together for events, share tips, and celebrate their collective impact. Why not start or join a local plogging group? Together, we can inspire others and create a cleaner, healthier world. Ready to make a difference? Lace up your trainers, grab a bag, and let’s plog our way to a cleaner UK!
