San Diego - Tijuana

The North American Run became officially North American today as we entered Mexico! In Tijuana we were joined by many local runners.

We ran from Pueblo Amigo to Instalaciones Imdet.

Ceremony with the local running enthusiasts from Limat running club.

Our local coordinator Sunmati presented a Jharna Kala artwork to the group who ran with us. Thank you so much!

We were so inspired by all the local runners, who were in such a good running shape.

Making wishes for peace.

Everyone was so friendly! Harita met Miraya Montoyo in the park and she ended up joining the team and running with us!

Running to our first shool wisit through the streets of Tijuana with local runner Mireya Montoya on the lead.

We were also delighted to be spontaneously joined by Patricia Wariara, pictured holding the torch, who is originally from Kenya and currently living in Mexico.

Running through hilly Tijuana had a real Mexican spirit, with people waving at us and cars beeping.

Our police escorts holding the torch.

At the ceremony at Escuela Primaria Municipal Carlos Villalvazo in Colonia Hidalgo we were greeted by hundreds of super enthusiastic children.

Everyone enjoyed the exercice where we try to feel peace in our hearts and spread it all around.
