Due to another event at the football club tomorrow night we will be meeting at Ropner Park bandstand.  There will be no formal sessions instead we will be doing some plogging - a combination of running and litter picking. While I’m sure none of us drop litter it’s still a great opportunity to give something back to our local area.  It’ll be a team competition which will be explained more tomorrow. All necessary equipment has been provided by Stockton Council. While I’m sure there will be lots of Great Tees 10k and GNR tops on display, it would be great if people could wear Striders tops and let everyone see that it’s us doing this. https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/motivation/a776063/plogging-the-new-running-craze-that-is-saving-the-planet/
