We’re excited to announce that we’re back for another round of plogging with Rhode Races!

To complete your registration, please use the Task Password: ERICD.

Ploggers will be dispatched in a staggered fashion based on their arrival, tackling consecutive 1-mile segments of the race course, starting with mile 1 at 7:00 AM.

Participants will either walk or jog along the 1-mile segments of the race route while collecting trash. Please remember, this is a volunteer opportunity linked to the Independence Rhode Race. Signing up does not grant you participation in the actual race event; it is exclusively for plogging the course post-event.

Further details will be shared as the date approaches after you register. All necessary supplies will be provided, including gloves, bags, and litter pickers, along with some exciting swag and snacks!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Jessica at jessica@easternriconservation.org.

Join us on June 28, 2025, from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM EDT as we work together to make the Half Marathon course in Bristol completely free of race debris. We’re looking for at least 13 more volunteers, and your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your commitment to keeping Eastern Rhode Island clean!
