2022 TCS New York City Marathon Plogging Event

Plogging refers to the activity of picking up trash while jogging, and its name is a portmanteau of the Swedish term plocka upp, meaning “to pick up,” and English jogging.

Plogging is also a great way to introduce new body movements into your run such as bending, squatting, stretching, and even lunging while you pick up trash.

We will do a 3-mile plog, at an enjoyable pace, throughout the streets of NYC lead by an NYRR Coach, Staff, and Tina Muir. All runners of any pace are welcome.

No plogging experience is required. NYRR will provide compostable bags and gloves to all registered runners. Each runner will also receive a sustainable giveaway after the plog! Feel free to share photos from the event and tag @nycmarathon.

Restrooms and lockers (on a first come first serve basis) will be available.

We will be plogging rain or shine, so please dress accordingly.

About Tina Muir:

Tina is the founder and CEO of Running For Real. Tina hosts the Running For Real Podcast, which has amassed over 5 million downloads and was voted Best Fitness Podcast at the Sports Podcast Awards 2021. The Running For Real Podcast is a collective of conversations about running, the climate emergency, and social justice. Tina also hosts a second, highly produced podcast with Knox Robinson called Running Realized, noted as “The ‘Invisibilia’ of running” by Women’s Running

Tina believes running is a vehicle for social change. She not only sees running as a metaphor for life but about being vulnerable and courageous about the things that matter. That’s why she started Running for Real as a business and Podcast in 2017. In 2021, Tina began collaborating with the United Nations, and has been celebrated as one of the lead climate activists in the running space.

Originally from St Albans, England, she currently lives in St Louis, Missouri (in the US). While she’s mostly known for putting a stop to professional running shortly after representing Great Britain and Northern Ireland in a world championship and running a 2:36 marathon and 1:13 half marathon, Tina is a mother of two girls and wife to Steve. Tina’s story of her nine-year battle with amenorrhea (RED-S) went viral, ending up all over the internet including in People Magazine, Glamour, Outside, Women’s Health, and more.

With Tina’s vision, Running for Real is growing into a movement of runners encouraging each other to be brave, get out of our comfort zones, and take tiny steps toward shaping the world we want to see. Tina has previously been voted as one of the 17 women changing the world of running by women’s running magazine and has inspired many others to speak out about their own passions.
