Peace Run 5K Race and 2.5K Fun Run @ The National Botanic Garden of Wales 2016

"Peace means a flood of love in the world-family"—Sri Chinmoy, Run Founder

Thanks to all who took part in our race around the beautiful National Botanic Garden, which was held to welcome the Peace Run Team to Wales. We had runners from as far afield as Australia, Latvia and Hungary as well as plenty of locals. The times show that this was actually a tough course, with lots of bends and a few inclines that were harder work than they looked - so well done to EVERYONE who crossed the line.

Photos will be online in our gallery as soon as I get hold of them - expect to see a fair few pictures on the Peace Run website too - www.peacerun.org - when they upload their daily report for March 13th.

Our 5k race in the Welsh National Botanic Gardens in Caermarthen took place to welcome the international runners from the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run, an initiative created by Marathon Team founder Sri Chinmoy in 1987 to bring people together through the simple act of passing a flaming torch from hand to hand.

Here you can see a video of the Peace Run as it passes through Wales - as well as participating in the run, they also took part in a Peace statue, visited many schools, churches and local government organisations.
