Our 5k race in the Welsh National Botanic Gardens in Caermarthen took place to welcome the international runners from the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run, an initiative created by Marathon Team founder Sri Chinmoy in 1987 to bring people together through the simple act of passing a flaming torch from hand to hand.
Here you can see a video of the Peace Run as it passes through Wales - as well as participating in the run, they also took part in a Peace statue, visited many schools, churches and local government organisations.
