The Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run will visit Shepparton on Tuesday 29 April, arriving at Victoria Park Lake around 4:30 PM. There will be a peace run with the Torch around Victoria Park Lake. If there are sufficent interested persons, a Peace Walk will be undertaken around the Lake.
Since its founding in 1987, the Run has visited almost every country on earth – over 150 nations and territories – and touched the lives of millions of people.
How does it work?
The Peace Run is a worldwide relay run. Runners carry a torch – the Peace Torch. The torch is passed from hand to hand, from person to person, as we travel from nation to nation.
Running with the Peace Torch is a unique experience. It awakens the experience of peace as a tangible reality – a reality that is dynamic, fulfilling and achievable. Hundreds of thousands of individuals, from schoolchildren to heads of state, have shared the joy of this experience.
In 2025, the Peace Run will circumnavigate the entire continent of Australia, a 15,500km journey of the heart, connecting communities, cultures, landscapes and above all, the hope and promise of peace and a better world.
Arriving in Shepparton
The Peace Run will commence in Canberra and arrive in Shepparton on April 29 at 4.45PM at Victoria Park Lake.
The Mayor and Councillors, will run around the lake with the Peace Torch. All are welcome to join. The international Peace Run team will be passing the Torch, collecting the Shepparton community’s wishes for peace. The gathering point will be at the shelters behind SAM.
