Welcome to Latvia! As we left Estonia, our Latvian coordinators and runners awaited us at the border...

We said good bye to our Estonian friends: again thank you to all the runners and organisers for the great time we spent!

...a hearty welcome...

Runners from Rujiena were already eagerly waiting. They took the torch and off we went...

Very enthusiastic runners!

...15 cheerful km's...

...even the smallest ones joined the Run...

welcome to Rujiena!

Half of the city was assambled at an outdoor theatre.

...a short presentation ended the outdoor program and after singing the World Harmony Run song we passed the torch to everybody!

....old friends of the World Harmony Run...

Thank you Latvia for the warm welcome!

Thanks to Estonia and to all our runners and organisers for the wonderful time we spent in Estonia! We will carry your message for friendship and peace with us in our hearts!
