🍍 Sunrise Run + DJ, Coffee & Pineapples!
🍍 Happy International Pineapple Day! 🍍
Have you ever regretted a morning run that ends with free coffee, a live DJ, new friends, and pineapple by the water?
We haven’t either!
Come join Novara & Tasklet for a free sunrise run through one of the most beautiful routes in San Francisco. We’ll meet at 7:00 AM, run roughly 5k, and end with a live set from DJ Ragbar, free coffee from Slow Street Coffee, snacks, and plenty of pineapple.
This one is in honor of Pineapple Day — a wonderfully unserious holiday started by Andrew Lee, the founder of Tasklet & Firebase, 15 years ago.
The story: on June 27, 2011, Andrew brought a pineapple to work, jokingly declared it “Bring Your Pineapple to Work Day,” and added it to the company calendar. The bit somehow stuck. Years later, Pineapple Day has become a real internet holiday celebrated by thousands of people, brands, and pineapple enthusiasts around the world.
This year, we’re taking Pineapple Day outside ☀️
Come with your crew or come solo. This is designed to be the kind of morning where you start with a run and leave knowing more people than you did before.

Why sunrise? Why together? Why pineapple?
Morning light, movement, and community are a pretty unbeatable way to start the day. Most people already know they should get outside in the morning — the hard part is having a reason to actually show up.
That’s where other people help.
Novara is built around the idea that the healthiest thing you can do is show up for other people.
And Pineapple Day is proof that sometimes a tiny ridiculous idea can become a real thing if people keep showing up for it.
Together, that felt like the perfect excuse to get people outside, moving, caffeinated, & connected.
Come run. Come meet people. Come celebrate the most unexpected holiday on the internet.
About the hosts
Novara
Novara is a social health platform that helps runners find partners, discover events around their schedule, and build real-world trust with the people they run with. In a world where digital connection is everywhere but real connection is harder than ever, Novara is the infrastructure layer that removes the friction between wanting to get out the door and actually doing it.
Founded by Jacky Minkler, former D1 runner, Ironman finisher, and product leader with nearly two decades of experience building software. She built Novara because what she needed as a runner and as a woman didn't exist: intentional connection around the things you love, with the safety and motivation of a partner who's counting on you. Not more noise filling your calendar.

Tasklet
Describe a task or responsibility in plain English, and Tasklet helps turn it into an agent that owns the work.
Tasklet agents work across apps, browse the web, process files, build dashboards and internal tools, and keep running on schedules or triggers. It’s built for teams that want their agents to feel less like chatbots and more like 24x7 teammates.
Tasklet was founded by Andrew Lee, who also accidentally started Pineapple Day during the early Firebase days. Full circle moment.
We’re also hiring exceptional people - if building the future of work and AI agents sounds fun, come say hi!
