Dash for Trash “Plogging” Event

Join us for the Dash for Trash “Plogging” Event on Saturday, May 20th, from 9 am – 12 pm at the Murray Ryan Visitor Center in Silver City. “Plogging” is a Swedish word for the combination of jogging and picking up litter. It began several years ago as an organized activity in Sweden due to growing concerns about marine debris and litter. Pick It Up-Toss No Mas is bringing this fun activity to Silver City. Help make our community cleaner, safer, healthier and more beautiful while getting some exercise. Ploggers will have the opportunity to jog or walk all or part of a 3-mile loop. The event starts and ends at the Murray Ryan Visitor Center, passing through downtown Silver City, Gough Park and Big Ditch Park, while picking up litter. There will be a celebratory fiesta with music, food trucks and fun in Big Ditch Park at the end of the plogging event.
