The run around Australia, from tropical coastal shores to the vast inland deserts, was truly inspiring; the run around New Zealand, from idyllic fields of green to the snow-capped mountains and fiords was utterly breathtaking.
Congratulations to the entire Australia-New Zealand team – it was a magnificent journey and one that will remain with us forever.

PS: Thank you too to all the team members from Europe and America who came so far and offered so much in running this great antipodean odyssey.
3 October: I met the group at Taieroa Head (near Dunedin) this morning, and being a recreational runner myself had a bit of a chat. What a lovely lot of people you are! Unfortunately I had to decline the invitation to run to Timaru with you, but I was seriously tempted. Afterwards my husband and I were chatting in our car and agreed that it's such a great thing to be doing something positive like this in the world. Good luck with the rest of your trip to Christchurch!

Hello to all the runners and participants in the World Harmony Run, from the other side of the world. Love and prayers as you travel the length of that wonderful country which we visted at the end of last year and the beginning of this and followed the route you are travelling so feel we are with you and can visualise where you are each day. Will be especially thinking of you all on Thursday when our daughter, Cathie Peters receives a World Harmony Medal in Auckland,
Safe journey to all.

What an awesome group of people. We were indeed privilaged to be there to start you off on your New Zealand leg of the run. Altho the morning was misty the spirits were high, and what an awesome start to the run.
We wish you every encouragement for this leg and will continue to keep up with the progress via this website.
Kia Kaha and God Bless you all

Hi to the Team in New Zealand! I'm sure you are all working hard to
prepare for the big upcoming World Harmony Run throughout your
beautiful country. I have recently got home to Adelaide after an
incredible month on the Australian Run and can't wait for the Torch
hand-over to you in Brisbane mid-August. Hope to see you all there. :-)
In Harmony and Oneness,

Dear Harmony Runners
I am glad that you are coming back to Christchurch again this year. I really enjoyed the concert that you gave in Cathedral Square last time and also running with the torch. It was awesome!

When will you be announcing the South Island route? Very keen to know when you are coming through!
