捡垃圾
跑团
第一次捡垃圾跑团活动如期而至~
这次的活动地点我们选在了上海郊区的滴水湖…有点远的。
不！简直是天涯海角！
The TRASH Runners China’s first event took place in Dishui lake, in the outskirts of Shanghai (OK, it’s pretty much the end of the world!! with surprisingly good – long – metro connection from the city center
)
但是，我们是跑者。跑者可是以跑步的名义去旅行，用脚步去丈量每一个陌生的城市。
所以！
我们几个老老实实从市中心坐地铁出发了…
不负众望，“天涯海角”的风景还是很不错的~
The view from the “end of the world”. Could be worse, huh?
阳光正好，微风不噪，我们穿的也很！漂！亮！。（简直找不到比我们更帅更美的跑团了~）
Quite a stylish outfit for a garbage (wo)men gang, isn’t it
天气这么好，是不是知道了我们此行的目的给予支持和肯定呢？虽然找起点费了点劲儿，但好在下午两点终于起跑了！
I’m sure it’s our noble purpose which made the weather so nice, and although finding the meeting spot was a bit of a challenge itself, we managed to set off at 2pm.
去跑步吧！随风奔跑自由是方向~~
不得不说，我们准备的垃圾王小奖品很有吸引力啊，大家一听有礼物都变得超认真！
Needless to mention, frequent selfie stops were made on the road, and I have to say, the small gift we prepared for the TRASH Queen/King was great for motivating people
如果健康是作为跑者身体的表现，那么乐活就是我们此时内心的写照：欢乐、活泼，在路途中，跑者总能找到最纯粹、最动人的乐趣。
我们随路自拍（也没有很多啦，大概每五分钟一次~），记录下了这段有意思的路程。
没有想到，看着人迹少的地方反而是垃圾集中区，很多垃圾，又脏又乱。
Things were getting interesting as we encountered a rather deserted part of the road, which was used as dump spot by (seemingly) many people.
这台被抛弃在路边的ofo我们也拿不动了…
Well, this was left at its resting spot. R.I.P. ofo
我们跑到了海边，也收获了不少“东西”。看见我们捡垃圾的举动，路过的行人有好奇也有支持鼓励。
跑完18公里，我们九个人的小团队每个人收集了两袋垃圾。哈哈哈哈哈，很有成就感啊~
By the time we got to the coast, the 9 of us had collected some funny comments, many curious looks and about two bags of waste each!
重点来了！这次捡垃圾跑团活动的垃圾王就是这位仁兄啦~
很厉害的样子，是不是？
Here’s a shot of our TRASH King of the day, with his catch
Impressive, huh?
跑步结束后，当然要吃！吃！吃！大！餐！
显然，当时我们的注意力已经不在拍照上了。只想快点吃到美食哈哈哈哈哈~
Well-deserved dinner after the total 18 kilometers we ran (the photos prove that we were rather focused on the food than the picture quality)
看似跑者孑然一身，其实跑者并不孤独。天下跑友皆一家，跑步路上互相鼓励、跑团成员互相加油、互相做些有意义的事情。因为不想让美好的生活环境充斥着垃圾，所以我们希望用行动来激励和呼吁大家，最直接的方式就是展开行动。
这就是我们捡垃圾跑团的意义。
我们愿意成为那些会低头弯腰捡路边垃圾的人，但我们更希望每位出行的人，都能自觉保持干净、整洁、有序的户外环境。捡垃圾或是减少丢垃圾，一个看似小小的善意举动，可能会让世界这个家，变得更加美好。
我们是中国捡垃圾跑团，很高兴认识你，期待你的加入！
We are TRASH Runners China, nice to meet you, and hope to see you soon! 
THE END
