...a torch in the sky.

On the final morning before the final run of this lower 48 states...

Nripal and Lilly spend a few precious moments with us before we go.

And a stowaway!

Our hearts of gratitude to you both, Nidrahara and Nripal.  We can never thank you enough for all you do for the Peace Run.  Your hearts are vaster than the sky and your self giving lives are our measureless joy and happiness, on our final day...

We begin the Peace Run one more time, on the home stretch from Fort Totten Park.

Moving out of the park and towards our final destination...

But not before meeting a new peace loving friend.

Into the neighborhoods of Bayside.

The home stretch.

And into the garden of our final destination.

Thank you to the over 60 peace runners who joined the 2026 Peace Run team.  And a very special thank you to the two people who ran the entire way.

Farewell for now, until we run again.

We carry the peace in our hearts as well as our shoes.

Thank you again America!  Forever may you hold your banner high!
