The event is organised by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in association with the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run. The Heart-Garden and an 800 m loop named Sri Chinmoy Street were dedicated in October 2006 as a tribute to fitness and integral health. The location sits within Flushing Meadows Corona Park, a site associated with the World’s Fair and major sporting events.
