Europe Peace Run 2024 Launched With Pope Francis
The European Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run began 6 March 2024, after the Peace Torch was symbolically lit by Pope Francis in the Vatican.
The Peace Run was initiated by Sri Chinmoy in 1987 with the goal of spreading the message of peace, love and friendship through a dynamic activity of running.
This year the international team of Peace Runners had the privilege of starting their epic journey with the blessings of the current Pope Francis.
The Peace Run Team will spend the next several months running through several European countries before finishing in Hungary 18 October.
“If we can invoke Peace and then offer it to somebody else, we will see how Peace expands from one to two persons, and gradually to the world at large.”
– Sri Chinmoy
Sri Chinmoy shared the peace Torch with Pope John Paul II on 31 May 1995, at the Vatican, sharing the message “I salute the runners of the Peace Run who are carrying a torch to the destination of peace through the streets of the world.”
