This autumn, we're writing the Clean & Run – Plogging Challenge story together, a meeting between exercising in nature and environmental protection.
Back to blogI've accustomed you over the years to take part alongside #comunitateaGreenfield we offer a variety of opportunities to spend your free time in a pleasant, healthy, and useful way, for you, your family and friends, and last but not least, for nature.
We have become familiar, together, with reforestation and rejuvenation actions in Băneasa Forest, with operations to protect and study our voiceless friends and neighbors, and with running and cycling races on the lively trails of the great green space that so lovingly embraces our neighborhood. All of these will continue, and the promises made to you, to nature, and to future generations will be fulfilled.
This fall, we're bringing you a new surprise, a relatively new type of event in Romania and certainly the largest of its kind ever held in our country. It's about plogging, a combination of jogging and waste collection (in Swedish: pick upThe concept initially emerged three years ago in Sweden and is already spreading rapidly throughout Europe and North America. Last year, there were a few tentative attempts to organize such an event in Romania, and for this, we at Greenfield Residence, We thank the pioneers.
From a love for movement and nature, it emerged Clean & Run,the largest Running and Cleanup initiative in Băneasa Forest. The race will be non-competitive and is aimed at people of all ages, adults and children, joggers or beginners.
On our behalf, the organizers Greenfield Residence and Băneasa Forest Run, participants will receive a kit that includes all necessary materials: plastic bags and protective gloves. They will be divided into teams who will follow routes of 5-7 km each, meaning together we will cover over 20 kilometers of paths and forest trails.
Because the inventory of areas requiring urgent intervention has not yet been completed, we will set the starting point in the coming days and communicate it at least 3 days before the event day.
In this adventure, they joined us without hesitation Radio Zu and Let's do it Romania, and Romsilva and Romprest they will support us throughout the event, which is estimated to last approximately 2 hours. With their help, we will provide water, hot drinks, and a pleasant and relaxing social space at the start/finish area. All collected waste will be picked up by Romprest.
We are therefore waiting for you on October 5, 10:00 AM, the Clean & Run – Plogging Challenge, for running, an effective cardio exercise, a workout that involves repeated bending, arm work, hence toning the muscles of the entire body, and fresh air, with more oxygen.
This is how you become more responsible towards the environment, help clean up the Băneasa forest, do a good deed, set an example for society, and, last but not least, sleep better after an engaging activity. 🙂
Don't hesitate to sign up here until October 3, 2019.
