Some people run for pride, glory, or accomplishment. We Run 4 Trash (and a cleaner environment)!

Ever notice how much trash there is when you're out on your morning walk/jog/run? Well, there is A LOT! That's where the Chicago Trash Runners come in. We come from all walks of life and all different backgrounds, but with a shared passion for taking care of our environment. We are the Chicago Trash Runners, but it doesn't matter how fast or slow you think you may be, we run together, pick up trash and have fun doing it.

Join us once a month as we grab our bags, tie on our shoes, move our feet, and pick up some trash. Each month we'll try to hit up a new trail or city 'hood and do our part to make Chicago a little bit cleaner.

It's a trashy job, but somebody's gotta do it!

Keep it clean,

CTR
