The Movment Movement in motion.

Over one hundred runners ran three laps through the Royal Ontario Museum this morning…

We ran past Samurai armour, Italian ceramics, dinosaur dioramas and a stuffed moose.

We ran through a room of taxidermy birds, one filled with ancient terracotta heads and through a dark, spooky bat cave.

We ran up stairs, down stairs and through the rotunda (three times!). We passed unsuspecting museum visitors and disapproving construction workers. We high-fived each other in the hallways.

And then we celebrated.
