Claire Petrie from Bristol will compete in the World Plogging Championships later this year. Plogging, a combination of jogging and litter picking, originated in Sweden and has gained popularity worldwide. The GB team, supported by environmental organizations, aims to promote this fitness and environmental trend through community events.
A local activist is to represent Great Britain in an international plogging event, which involves picking up litter while jogging.
The World Plogging Championships started in Italy in 2021, and Claire Petrie from Bristol hopes to compete in the games later this year. Members of the public, particularly those with an eye on competing with the team in future, have been encouraged to get involved, regardless of fitness levels."We like people to get a decent run in, so what we tend to do is run from A to B and then we'll stop at B, do a big litter pick, weigh what we've picked and then run back," added Ms Petrie, who co-ordinates monthly sessions in Horfield.
