Plogging World - Plogging Slovakia
We bring you a worldwide event that you can be part of!
Do you know what plogging is?
It is a modern sport that was created in Sweden and is rapidly gaining popularity around the world. Its name is a combination of the words "jogging" and the Swedish "plocka upp", which means "to lift". Simply said, plogging is a run associated with garbage collection. For some this term is certainly not unknown, but it is still new thing that has not yet been applied in our country. Therefore, we would like to connect people with similar feelings and start this trend also in Slovakia.
Plogging has benefits in many ways. Not only it is ecological, but it is more effective than classic running according to various applications. This is because the runner has to bend over the garbage, make a squat and keep a load in his hands. Reportedly, it can burn up to 50 calories per half an hour more than a regular jogging. As a bonus, it feels good to help nature.
As first we want to bring Plogging World to Slovakia in order to clean up our surroundings.
Plogging World is a worldwide one day event in 26 countries, 44 cities and towns around the world (this numbers may increase). This event will be attended by cities such as Los Angeles, Paris, Melbourne, St. Petersburg, Prague, Budapest and many other metropolises. This list also includes smaller towns from different countries, anyone can be involved, and since our small Komárno is not behind these urban giants by its heart size, we are very proud to be part of a worldwide, joint project with the same goal.
There is a sports program waiting for you to beautify nature in a good, family-friendly atmosphere.
Run is for everyone, young, old, family, children.
Running will be on a pre-set route, circa 5km.
Entry fee is FREE.
We look forward to everyone on 27th April in cities around Slovakia thanks to cooperation with
