The Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run is a global torch relay that offers everyone a chance to express their longing for peace. Since its founding in 1987, the Run has visited almost every country on earth – over 150 nations and territories – and touched the lives of millions of people.
Peace Run 2026, will be a 5-month journey through all 50 states, celebrating the 250th anniversary our nation’s Independence. Those holding aloft the Peace Torch and passing it on to their neighbors will be spreading the message of all that’s good and beautiful in our country. The climbing flame in the Torch represents the rising spirit of America – an ever-ascending brightness that traces back to our origins. What was once a sacred dream is now part of our national consciousness – a shining promise and enduring grandeur that shall one day light up the world.
O dreamers of peace, come.
Let us walk together.
O lovers of peace, come.
Let us run together.
O servers of peace, come.
Let us grow together.
