Live from the road March 27, 2016 | The Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run

Today the Peace Run Team will participate in the Self Transcendence 100K/50K race in Perth, Scotland.

Some will run and some will help. For the helpers it is an early start.

The 100K started at 7am. The Self-Transcendence 50k Race started at 10am and the Peace Run Team members running included Rasmivan, Paramanyu and Vera from the International Team. At the start of the 50k we presented the Torch and told all the competitors about the Peace Run. Paramanyu ran his first lap with the Torch.

All set to go!

And they are off and so is the Torch.
