Jog/Plog the C&O Canal

Prepping for a turkey trot? Love a cold-weather jog? Come join us and our friends at Outdoor Voices (OV) on Saturday, November 23, for a fun, mid-morning jog along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal!

Runners who wish to plog (collect trash while jogging) will be given gloves and trash bags to collect litter and support this local national park site. We’ll then head back to OV Georgetown for a lunch catered by Chaia Tacos. We’ll also share more about NPCA’s local and national work, including ways you can get involved!
