A Bike Ride for Peace across America
11 States • 4000 miles • 10 weeks
Starting in Seattle during the third week in May of 2025, two of long time Peace Runners will be embarking on a 4000 mile (6500 km) bicycle journey across the United States of America. While the mode of movement will be cycling rather than running the spirit, inspiration and essence of this journey will be the same.
Ways you can join us
Meet the team on the road
Give the team a big cheer and a wave as they ride by, or join in yourself and hold the Peace Torch.
Invite us to visit with you
If you have a school, youth, sports or community group: perhaps we can come with our Peace Torch, and share the ideals of our Peace Ride!
We are eagerly looking forward to meeting with you.
Also, we are often invited to take part in larger events, so if you are working on an event that shares the goals of the Peace Ride, and you feel we could be of some service to you, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Organise a welcoming event
Show our cyclists your town's local hospitality. It can be as big or small as you want - what matters is your heart and your goodwill! Contact us and we'll work with you to create an occasion.
Media Coverage
Make sure your local newspaper or TV knows about the Peace Ride - so they can include an article and photo of you with our team holding the torch.
Again, our media team is more than happy to help with any enquiries. And, as you can see - our cyclists love sharing their enthusiasm about the Peace Ride and its ideals...
Honour the Peace-Dreamers in your community
One of the privileges of being on our international team is meeting so many wonderful people who are working tirelessly in their community for a better world. Through our Torch-Bearer award program, we have given thousands of these unsung heroes their due appreciation. This picture shows some of those dedicated servers in Chicago with their Torch-Bearer award.
Perhaps you know of someone who deserves a Torch-Bearer award? You can find out more about the program and how to work with us to nominate someone on our Torch-Bearer page.
Perform the Peace Run song!
These songs composed by Peace Run founder Sri Chinmoy have been arranged by choirs and music groups all over the world. Performing these songs gives a great feeling of joy, unity and purpose - precisely the qualities we are trying to foster with the Peace Ride.
If you are part of an upcoming event with the Peace Ride, perhaps you know a band or choir that might like to perform these songs.
We have a page about these songs where you can download the scores and listen to arrangements that people have performed around the world...
Create for peace
Express your inner feeling for a better world through poetry, prose or artwork. See some inspiring examples...
Some of our most-loved and remembered events have been when we have brought the worlds of creativity and sport together to create something special. There are so many ways to participate – and just as humanity's yearning for peace finds expression in every field of human endeavour, so also your participation in the Peace Run can be through music, art or writing, as well as running.
Participation in the Peace Ride is free, and it's fun!
