Plogging Cleanup: Free Run & Trash Pickup | Emeryville

Submitted by the Event Organizer

What do you get when a bunch of Swedes, foodies, adventurers and sports lovers team up? A city-wide plog! A Swedish tradition, plogging is running and picking up litter.

Join Emeryville companies Clif Bar, Decathlon, and IKEA Emeryville to “Clean-Up to Green-Up” in partnership with Emeryville Council-member John Bauters and Save the Bay! Whether you’re plogging or “plalking,” it’ll be fun for the whole family (multiple routes available). Enjoy food, prizes and more.

• 10 am-12 pm After Party: Decathlon (3938 Horton St)
