Plogging Fun Run

Windham Recreation and the Hartford Marathon Foundation are teaming up to present “Plogging in Windham”.

What is plogging you ask? Plogging refers, specifically, to the activity of picking up trash while jogging, and its name is a portmanteau of the Swedish term plocka upp, meaning "to pick up," and English jogging. In Swedish, the activity goes by plogga, a combination of plocka upp with the language's word for "jog," jogga.

The Hartford Marathon Foundation will provide all the materials needed, along with some swag to give away.

• Where: Meet at the Windham Community Center Parking lot (Main Street side). The run will take place on the Air Line Trail/Hop River Trail (along the Willimantic River)
• Time: 6:30 PM
• Cost: Free
