Today is Global Running Day, and to mark the occasion, we are sharing a story from Kitron US, where a group of colleagues took part in either a 14-mile (~22.5 km) or a 5 km race, completing their respective routes in demanding, rain-soaked conditions 👟
As Kelly Miller, IT Specialist at Kitron US, put it in her LinkedIn post, the idea began a few months ago as a simple conversation. Soon enough, it grew into something more consistent, with early morning runs, shared accountability, mutual encouragement and plenty of miles covered together. Kelly reflected that it was great to see everyone show up, push themselves and cheer for one another.
“There’s something oddly motivating about standing at a starting line in terrible weather with coworkers thinking, ‘Well... I guess we’re all doing this now’,” shared Kelly, completing the race together with the Kitron US team, who stepped outside their comfort zones and committed to a difficult challenge as a group, embodying the spirit of camaraderie.
We are very proud of the Kitron US team for coming together to engage with and overcome the goal, representing the very values that drive Kitron ⭐
