Sixty people attended our end-of-year Peace Run dinner. We held it at a spacious Indian restaurant in Auckland and bringing together past and present supporters, long-time friends of founder Sri Chinmoy and our relay team.

It's always a greatly popular event with musical performances, a few speeches, a banquet meal, the passing of the torch, Peace Run video highlights, stories from team members and gifts for all of the guests. It's a wonderful way to deepen our ongoing friendships with so many diverse people. We had world record holding athletes, interfaith folk, NZ Peace Foundation directors, spiritual leaders, civic VIP's, university lecturers, education authorities and prominent community and ethnic leaders sitting around with our host and hostess team members in a wonderfully diverse mix.

Two record holding ultra runners with torch.
