Seven Principles That Light the Path
These are the principles that light the torch, guiding our steps, igniting our spirit, and lighting the way to a better world.
1. FREEDOM – Live Free.
2. LIBERTY – Choose your path.
3. THE AMERICAN DREAM– Rise through opportunity.
4. SERVICE – Serve something greater.
5. HEALTH & FITNESS – Strengthen body and spirit.
6. UNITY – Together, not divided.
7. PEACE – Light the way for future generations.
An American celebration of freedom, liberty and love that welcomes people from around the world.
Bear Grylls, the first British public figure to hold the Liberty Torch, played a key role in inspiring this movement.
We are honored to have Boston Marathon Race Director Dave McGillivray and the team at DMSE Sports supporting The Run of Hope Liberty Torch Relay.
