To mark World Cleanup Day, the Donetsk Youth Palace “Yunost” held a regional virtual marathon titled “Plogging—The Trend of the Future.” The educational challenge brought together about 100 participants—students and educators from schools, extracurricular institutions, colleges, and universities in the Pokrovsk, Hrodiv, Selidiv, Kostiantynivka, Kramatorsk, Toretsk, Myrnohrad, Bakhmut, and Lyman territorial communities. The goal of the initiative was to promote a healthy lifestyle, physical fitness, and environmental stewardship among the region’s youth.
Participants combined intense running and brisk walking with coordination exercises and the collection of household trash at selected locations, turning their runs into functional workouts.
Following the marathon, a video was produced highlighting the participants’ athletic achievements and environmental initiatives, which can be viewed at the following link: https://surl.lt/nxkzxi
