Ottawa, KS - Chanute, KS

Reported by Luiza Hariton, Sweta Pradhan 80.0 mi

Many thanks to Springhill Suites by Marriott Hotel for their generous support in offering complimentary accommodation to our Peace Run team.

In Kansas, where the sky feels endless and the wind never truly sleeps, our team started the morning run at the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail after stormy weather which felt almost sacred.

Somehow this trail looks so long...

Sweta from Nepal joined the team today.

Tina and Marcia happily offered their wishes for peace.

John McNelly from KC Spine and Sport very generously donated his time to give chiropractic treatments to three of our team members. They all felt great improvement and are very grateful.

We met Scott Rogers at the Dutch Country Cafe. He volunteers with the organization that looks after the Prairie Spirit Trail.

Rainey, America and Morgan happily held the torch and ran a few steps with us.
