The Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run is a global torch relay that offers everyone in the world a chance to express their longing for peace. www.peacerun.org
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.
The Peace Run does not seek to raise money or highlight any political cause. Their simple goal is to create a feeling of goodwill among peoples of all nations.

The Peace Run is a worldwide relay run. Runners carry a torch – the Peace Torch. The torch is passed from hand to hand, from person to person, as they travel from nation to nation.

The 2023 Torch Relay begins in New York City on July 13 & travels north through CT, MA, VT & into Canada. We invite you to meet the runners when they arrive in Bennington on Sunday, July 16 at 11:15 am at Webster Hall in the Second Congregational Church on 115 Hillside St. For more information, contact the Church at 802-442-2559.
