In 1987, Sri Chinmoy, founded [1][5][6] a run for international friendship, the Peace Run.

From 2005 to 2013 it was known under the name World Harmony Run. In June 2013 it returned to its previous name Peace Run.[9] The team of international runners carry a torch as a symbol of friendship. The Peace Run has taken place in more than 100 countries.[2] The aim of the torch run is to promote understanding and the harmonious relationship between the peoples of all nations, faiths and cultures.[10] The Peace Run is a grassroots event and the international team meet with dignitaries, mayors, community groups and schools inviting them to participate by holding the peace torch and by making a step towards a more harmonious world.[2][4] Past participants include Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev who supported the run and held the peace torch. Nine time Olympic Carl Lewis is a spokesman for the Peace Run.[11][12]
