Richmond welcomed two teams of runners who have travelled from Brisbane on foot via Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin. Runners are from 16 different countries and are carrying a flaming torch to promote world harmony and inspire every day Australian's to strive for a better world.

They presented Councillor Rob Ievers with a World Harmony Run Torch-Bearer Award for his outstanding service to the community and enjoyed Cr Iever's personally guided tour of Kronosaurus Korner.

The boys team hit the road while the girls had a quick dip in Lake Fred Tritton.  See the following link for the runner's journey and photos of Richmond.  http://www.worldharmonyrun.org/au/news/2008/week15/0803
