People from all over the world come together to run for cultural tolerance at the Global Run. Global Run is a race organized by Global Ports Holding every year with the hope of bringing the world one step closer to peace and understanding.
GPH has witnessed how critical travel is to bringing different cultures together. Cruises represent one of the most efficient and effective ways to visit numerous countries and interact with people from all over the world in just a week’s period of time. And we have seen first-hand how powerful this can be.
Likewise, the Global Run unites people from all over the world to come together and run for a common cause. It is held in a different GPH port every year to promote people traveling to different countries and getting to know new cultures, surroundings, and a variety of local flavors. Thus far, the Global Run has been held in Bodrum, Turkey; Bar/Kotor, Montenegro; Valletta, Malta; Ravenna, Italy; Havana, Cuba and Barcelona, Spain . The intention is to take the run to all of GPH’s 19 cruise ports around the world.
GPH is committed to promoting peace, tolerance and understanding in today’s ever-globalizing world. We know it is only a small step towards increasing tolerance but that it will eventually contribute to world peace. And that is what the world needs...
