A group of about 70 Maldivian doctors on Friday morning collected 1.7 tons of garbage from Malé’s outer ring road.
The Doctors’ Run and 5km clean-up was part of activities organised to mark the upcoming Maldives Doctor’s Day.
It was the first “plogging” event in the Maldives, a Swedish fitness craze of picking up litter while jogging.
Dr Ali Shahid, president of the Maldives Medical Association, told Mihaaru that the purpose of the run was for doctors to practice what they preach about the importance of exercise.
