PLOGGING DE PONTOISE 2027

Plogging de Pontoise is a morning plogging event starting at the Pontoise Tourist Office, with participants running from 9 AM to 1 PM to collect litter. It is not a speed-focused race; the format combines running, frequent stops, squats, carrying bags, and sorting waste, so the effort involves both cardio and cleanup. Pontoise Durablement organizes it as Pontoise’s first eco-responsible running event. Registration includes a practical kit with T-shirts, bibs, gloves, and bags. Runners can select a secure, non-timed 5 km or 10 km route, with the emphasis on picking up trash rather than chasing a finish time. Individuals can enter solo, as a family, or in teams of 2 to 8 people, with each team requiring at least one adult. The event is listed on the French Athletics Federation calendar. The setup includes an eco-responsible activity village where participants can learn everyday waste-sorting and sustainability habits interactively.
