Sri Chinmoy founded the Oneness-Home Peace Run in 1987 in furtherance of his life’s work of bringing people from cultures all around the world together in oneness. The Peace Run embodies his dedication to using athletics and sports as a vehicle for global harmony. Through the years the Peace Run has involved more than 140 nations and millions of people.
The Peace Run’s purpose is not to raise money or promote any political goals, but to simply provide a way for people everywhere to express their hope for peace in all parts of the world. The centerpiece of the Peace Run is the symbolic torch passed from hand to hand around the globe in dedication to a harmonious future for humankind.
