Our Harvest Crew headed back to the Valley today — not to run, but to tidy up! 🧤

We heard from the community that unfortunately there was a lot of trash left on course after the Valley Harvest Marathon. So, our most active Plogger, Luke spent the day picking up litter. Thank you!

We’re proud of how many participants helped keep our routes clean, but a reminder every wrapper, cup, or gel pack left behind still matters.

Please pack out what you bring or use the nearest trash bin along the route.

Let’s all do our part to protect this beautiful community that welcomes us each year. Thank you for having us! 🌾
