Some of you may remember my blog/rant from a while ago about the rubbosh I see as I go on my daily runs. Well, after getting some advice, I have decided to go forward with the idea of planning a day that we can all go for a walk along our favorite running route and clean up as we go.

I work for a home improvement company and I will work my connections to see if I can even arrange to supply trash bags for the project.

The Plan:

Tentative Date: May 16, 2009 (the weekend before Memorial Day)

The Location: EVERYWHERE!!!

The Concept: Go for a long walk with fellow runners and friends along your favorite running routes and help beautify it. Cleaning up sidewalks, clogged storm drains, and picking up trash will help to make our home towns and trails even more enjoyable as we enter the summer.

I will work my contacts through work for supplies and support as well as getting in touch with companies that support our sport. If anyone has any suggestions, advice, or would like to help plan, please get in touch with me.
