Running a 5k "Parks and Rec" style

When Automattic announced they wanted the global WordPress community to participate in their Worldwide WP 5k, WP Engine decided to make a day of it and participate in the community event as a company. We were excited about running the same race that other Automatticians and WordPressers were running the world over.

We added a bit of flavor to the mix, and filmed the entire thing as if it were an episode of "Parks and Rec"

Our founder and CEO, @asmartbear, decided to go the extra mile, (well, two kilometers), and accidentally ran a 7k. Everyone finished the race in short order, and the film crew took a lot of footage that has been edited into this short video that will promote the Automattic 5k and is also a blast to watch
