World Harmony Run in Guatemala

In a spectacular launch of the 2010 World Harmony Run, runners in Guatemala carried the World Harmony Torch to the Pacaya Volcano for the 2010 torch lighting ceremony. The torch was lit from the molten lava at the volcano. The run began at 3 pm from San Francisco de Sales, near Guatemala City.

During the global start for the 2010 World Harmony Run, Purnahuti Wagner of Guatemala lights the torch from a river of molten lava near the peak of the Pacaya Volcano in Guatemala, along with runners from 25 countries. Founded by world harmony leader Sri Chinmoy, the run will travel this year to 100 countries on six continents over 56,000 km.

The Runners celebrate the opening of the 2010 Run atop the Pacaya Volcano after Guatemalan runner Purnahuti Wagner lit the torch from the molten lava. Runners include representatives of Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Mongolia, India, Russia and many other European nations.
