Plogging Hits Brighton Marathon: Running Meets Litter Picking

This year's Brighton Marathon on April 12th will incorporate plogging, an eco-conscious activity that merges running with litter picking. A dedicated team of 20 runners is set to navigate the full 42km (26.2 mile) course, actively collecting discarded litter such as gel sachets and cups.

The initiative is part of a broader effort to make the marathon more sustainable. London Marathon Events, which organizes the Brighton Marathon, is implementing water refill stations and providing reusable cups. Participants in the 'Team Green' initiative will also forgo baggage transport, further reducing the event's environmental footprint.
