Summer Plogging

Boogie Down Bronx Runners Hosts First Ever Plogging Event: Volunteers Needed!
BRONX, NY: We run the Bronx. Now we're going to clean it, too.

The Boogie Down Bronx Runners is proud to announce our First Annual Plogging Event, where running meets purpose.

What is plogging? It comes from Sweden: plucks upp jogging, picking up litter while you jog. You get your workout in, and the neighborhood gets a beautification.

As the leading pioneers in promoting health, wellness, and fitness in an underserved community, we know wellness isn't just about our bodies. It's about the streets we run on, the parks our kids play in, and the pride we have in where we live.

Why Plogging?
Because a clean neighborhood is a healthy neighborhood. We run these blocks every day. Now we're inviting the community to join us to make them shine.

We Are Looking For Volunteers!
We need runners, walkers, families, and neighbors who want to make a visible difference. No running experience needed if you can walk and pick up; you can plog.

Gloves, bags, and good vibes will be provided. Just bring your energy and your Boogie Down Bronx Runners pride. Wear your BDBR shirt if you have one.

This is more than trash pickup. It's about ownership. It's about showing our community that if we want a better Bronx, we have to build it and clean it ourselves.
