Running the world for peace

The World Harmony Run team moved through the coulee area mid-morning last Wednesday on its way from Seattle to Helena, Montana. The four-member team is made up of runners from New York, Ukraine, New Zealand and Mexico. Similar teams are running in 140 countries, on 7 continents covering 35,000 miles for world peace. The runs have been going on since 1987. The North American team will cover all 48 lower states. Separate teams are covering Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands.
