Come join the UQ Social Runners Club (SRC), the Geography and Environmental Management Society (GEMS), and the Green Ambassador Program (GAP), as we clean up Sir William McGregor Drive with some plogging!

Plogging is the act of walking or jogging whilst picking up litter, and originated in Sweden. Getting your daily steps in while also reducing the amount of rubbish on campus, and making new friends- what more could you want!

We'll be meeting at the St Lucia UQ Community Garden on the corner of Sir Fred Schonell Drive and Sir William McGregor Drive, and heading along the river towards the colleges.

Hope to see you there with your running shoes on!
