Today was another one of our semi-annual relay runs at my (fully-remote) workplace Automattic. In case you don’t remember from past runs (here, here, and here), here’s how it works: instead of us all meeting and running together (which we can’t because we’re all remote and all over the world), we sign up for time slots over a 24-hour period and try to have at least one person at the company running at any time to “complete” a full relay as the sun goes around the earth, never setting on our race.
My favorite part is seeing all of us start and finish in a Slack channel we share, along with pictures and anecdotes. It definitely feels like we’re together doing something.
We also all share our results publicly, and you can see me here: https://a8c5k.run/2026/09/30/nick-severson-4/
