The sun is rising on the last full day of the 2026 US Peace Run.

Our incredible four month journey is coming to an close.

We meet many new friends on the way to...

... the Wakeman Boys & Girls Club in Southport!

Can you show my country on the map?

Counselors started the run...

... and children continued the run!

Salil meets his young countrywoman, straight from Australia.

A big thank you to Program Director Emily Powell and Wakeman Boys & Girls Club of Southport!  We look forward to seeing you again next time!

The run continues.

It is always a special feeling to run accompanied by police escort.

Norwalk is in safe hands!

This definitely is the biggest Peace Run billboard we have seen this year!

Silvy Iannaccone (HR Coordinator), and Nicole Weiss (Vice President), and the Stew Leonard’s team have welcomed the Peace Run team many times before.

Spiderman promised to join the Run next time.

After a hearty meal at Stew Leonard’s we continue our journey.

We are greeted by our joyful host Nidrahara in Stamford.  It is a homecoming to see our dear friends and longtime Peace Run teammates Nidrahara and Nripal once again.  Every they host the team for our final meal together and share their beautiful home.  It is a longtime tradition and our final meal together before we make our final run into New York tomorrow.

Heart as bright as the sun and mind as vast as the sky.

That's Nripal.

Kaivalya - the hands and the heart behind most of Sri Chinmoy's (founder of the Peace Run) statues now found around the world.

In many of these statues Sri Chinmoy is seen holding the Peace Torch.

Kaivalya recently celebrated His 87th Birthday!

Really grateful for the opportunity to finish our last full day in such a beautiful place.

Many of our team members who have participated previously this year came to celebrate with us!
