New Year Peace Run

To celebrate the New Year, the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run took part in events in Montenegro and Croatia.

On New Year’s Eve, an international team of runners  marked the start of the upcoming year’s events by visiting the sacred mountain of Lovćen a national park of Montenegro.

The volunteers carried the Peace Torch to the snow capped mountain, which also serves as a monument to the most influential poet of Montenegro - Petar Petrović Njegoš. 

On the following day, a team of Peace Runners took part in Dubrovnik's New Year 10 km race. The runners were interviewed by local TV and were able to share the message of the Peace Run founder Sri Chinmoy - that the Peace Run aspires to unite people from different backgrounds through running and humanity’s shared wish for a more peaceful world.

“Peace
Is the oneness-bridge
Between my satisfaction
And the world’s satisfaction.”

Sri Chinmoy [1]
