Kicks off at the Castro Valley Fall Festival · Sept 12–13
The Big Plog: Step Into 2027
Our biggest steps challenge yet. Get moving, keep moving, and plog your way from the festival all the way to the new year — for your health, and for the Earth.
So… what exactly is plogging?
It's a real word — and a Swedish one. Mash together plocka upp ("pick up") and jogging, and you get plogging: scooping up litter while you walk or run. It started in Sweden around 2016, spread across the world, and it's the perfect Forestr move — a workout and a cleanup rolled into the very same trip. You come home lighter, and so does the street.
Keep those legs going. The most steps wins.
It's beautifully simple: we count your total steps across the whole challenge, and the highest counts top the leaderboard. All your movement counts — strolling the Fall Festival, walking the neighborhood, and especially our Saturday morning community cleanups (9–11am, most every other week), where a couple of hours on your feet add up fast. Lace up, come plog with us, and climb the board — right through to midnight on New Year's Eve.
Real Forestr rewards for the top steppers.
And here's the part where everyone wins: keep moving and you earn the reward that matters most — a healthier body and a cleaner community. Healthy people build a healthy planet.
You already care about a cleaner, greener community.
Here's the fun way to live it every day.
You clean, you green, you glean. Now put your steps to work too. The +Health Challenges app turns everyday movement into something you can feel — and something the whole Forestr community can rally behind. Last year, hundreds of you proved just how far that goes. This year, the invitation is to even more of you: move more, feel better, and help tidy the places we all share, one step at a time.
There's no better place to take your first step.
We're launching The Big Plog at the Castro Valley Fall Festival — come find Forestr, download the app with us, and sign up on the spot. A day wandering the festival is a big step day all on its own, so you'll hit the leaderboard before you even head home. From that morning, the race to 2027 is on. Bring a friend, bring your walking shoes, and let's kick this off together.
