Bristol Independence Half Plogging

  • Independence Park 419 Thames Street Bristol, RI, 02809 United States (map)

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 entry to the race; it is only for plogging the course after the event.

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

If you have any questions, please contact Jessica at jessica@easternriconservation.org.

HOW TO SIGN UP:

1. Click this link to access the "Post Race Green Team" Volunteer section of the Rhode Races website.

2. Enter the Password: ERICD

3. Fill in your contact information and volunteer details!

Join us on June 27, 2026, 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!
