Abstract: We prove long-time existence for the negative $L^2$-gradient flow of the $p$-elastic energy, $pgeq2$, with an additive positive multiple of the length of the curve. To achieve this result we regularize the energy by adding a small multiple of a higher order energy, namely the square of the $L^2$-norm of the normal gradient of the curvature $kappa$. Long-time existence is proved for the gradient flow of these new energies together with the smooth sub-convergence of the evolution equation's solutions to critical points of the regularized energy in $W^{2,p}$. We then show that the solutions to the regularized evolution equations converge to a weak solution of the negative gradient flow of the $p$-elastic energies. These latter weak solutions also sub-converge to critical points of the $p$-elastic energy.
