In an effort to promote this new partnership, Terracycle and the brand will be supporting a local race event, Run-a-palooza. Tom tasks Tiff and her Design team with creating an "experience booth" to showcase upcycled products created from the energy brand waste. To further support the partnership, Tom enlists Rhandi and Dan to set-up Zero Waste boxes at the race to help make the event waste-free. Tom puts Tiff in charge of overseeing the whole project from the "experience booth" to Zero Waste operations. Tom unsuccessfully tries to recruit staffers to run in the race. He finally manages to convince Sara, Rick, and Stephen to join him. Dean agrees to "coach". While the Design team works on the upcycled items, Tiff is overwhelmed at the prospect of managing the Zero Waste program as well. When Dan hands off a stack of Zero Waste and Event reading material, it does little to calm her nerves. Her worries intensify when Tiff learns that Dan will be unable to help out at the race due to injury outside the office. It's the day of the Runapalooza Expo, and Tiff and Darshan arrive at Asbury Park to set up the booth. Tom's team picks up their bibs for the race, and stop by the booth. After Tiff tells the team about Dan's absence, Stephen, who's been hesitant about running the race from the moment he signed up, sees an opportunity, and steps in to help Rhandi with the Zero Waste operations. The race gets off to a great start, while Tiff and Darshan open their booth to the public. Tom's team finishes the race and head over to the TC booth, where Tom congratulates Tiff on a job well done. As the results of the race are announced, the whole TerraCycle team cheers for Rick as he accepts his award for placing 4th in the race.
