International Trails Day Plog-a-thon

International Trails Day Plog-a-Thon

A celebration of the Trans Canada Trail in Winnipeg

IMPORTANT UPDATE
Due to a severe thunderstorm warning, the event is postponed until Sunday

Celebrate International Trails Day by enjoying trails in your own backyard. Join us for a day of plogging, giving our Trans Canada Trail some much needed TLC.

Plogging is a combination of jogging and picking up garbage (from the Swedish term ‘plocka upp’). It’s a perfect combo of fitness and environmental stewardship.

Sign up to spend a day on the trails, plogging a section of the Trans Canada Trail in Winnipeg.

Date: Saturday June 8, 2019

NEW DATE: Sunday June 9, 2019

Time: Complete by 3pm, but start as early as you like! 

Cost: Free!
