The Peace Run is on the move again!
Founded 35 years ago, the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run has grown into one of the world's largest peace torch relays. At its heart is a simple premise: that inside our hearts each one of us have the same longing for a oneness-world-family. The run has now visited over 155 countries, and well over seven million people have held the torch.
After two years where the Peace Run has not been able to have a full program of activities, we are very grateful to be on the road again with our international teams. There are quite a few simultaneous runs taking place all over the world.
Mongolian Peace Run
For the first time, the Peace Run will be making a circuit of this huge and beautiful country - a feat that will take 54 days and cover over 7000km.
The run started May 14 in the central square of Ulaanbaatar, and will complete its momentous journey on July 7.
Danube Peace Run
The highlight of the year 2022 in Europe will be a Peace Run along the full length of the River Danube, from the Black Forest to the Black Sea. The Danube Peace Run will run through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova. The runners will carry the torch of Peace towards the Ukraine.
There will also be Peace Runs in Spain, Portugal, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic, Finland, Bosnia, Macedonia, Slovenia and France.
Peace Run USA
Every couple of years, the Peace Run makes a giant journey through North America. We are still a little mindful of health and safety, so we have embarked upon a slightly more curtailed route this year, with two major loops north and south of New York City, and one-off Peace Runs in many cities throughout the United States.
