18th Berliner Friedenslauf (Berlin Peace Run)

The 18. Berliner Friedenslauf is a school-led charity run organised by Pro Peace that brings together Berlin schools to raise funds for international peace projects. The event, promoted under the motto “Frieden beginnt mit deinem nächsten Schritt!”, asks pupils to run laps while sponsors donate a chosen amount per lap, turning physical activity into targeted fundraising for children affected by conflict. The format is deliberately school-centred and community-focused, emphasising participation and solidarity rather than competition.

Alongside the run, Pro Peace offers free peace-education workshops for participating classes to explore themes such as conflict, migration and non-violent conflict resolution, making the event both educational and charitable. The Mayor of Berlin is listed as the event patron, and Pro Peace provides central coordination and registration via its event page. For enquiries and registration information participants are directed to the official event page or to the organiser at [email protected].
