In this paper we consider compact, Riemannian manifolds M1, M2 each equipped with a oneparameter family of metrics g1(t), g2(t) satisfying the Ricci flow equation. Adopting the characterization of super-solutions to the Ricci flow developed by McCann-Topping, we define a super Ricci flow for a family of distance metrics defined on the disjoint union M1 ⊔ M2. In particular, we show such a super Ricci flow property holds provided the distance function between points in M1 and M2 is itself a super solution of the heat equation on M1 × M2. We also discuss possible applications and examples.
