29 June -”Peace Run for the United Nations”, l8-mile commemorative relay run from the site of the first U.N. headquarters in Lake Success, Long Island, to New York headquarters

Some will talk — others will run and walk to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of the U.N. Charter. The U.N. community is invited to join together

in the semi-annual PEACE WALK in the U.N. gardens on June 25-26 and in
the PEACE RUN on June 29 — a commemorative relay run from Lake Success in Long Island (former site of UN offices) to the Secretariat.

The PEACE RUN is not a race, but a commemorative run to celebrate the International Year of Peace.

Runners will stay in a group, carrying the flags of the Member States over the 16.5 mile route.
Run for a long or a short segment of the route — or
form a national relay team!
Refreshments will be served at the seven rest stops along the route —
two vehicles will accompany the group at all times to provide water for the runners and transportation between stopping points.

Both events are being sponsored by Sri Chinmoy: The Peace Meditation at the United Nations
