Managua, Nicaragua—For the 2017 Peace Road, the Nicaragua chapters of UPF and the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace (IAPP), in collaboration with the Cyclist Federation of Nicaragua, organized a bicycle tour.
The event took place on August 27, 2017 in the city of Managua and began at the Dennis Martinez National Stadium and ended at Las Piedrecitas.
Seventy-three cyclists rode the tour, while another 47 people, walked it, with some holding flags, banners and wearing Peace Road t-shirts.
Before the tour started, UPF-Nicaragua President Hon. Agustin Jarquin Anaya spoke about the history and significance of the Peace Road, which was followed by a prayer for the participants, offered by IAPP-Nicaragua President Hon. Rev. Guillermo Osorno.
Mr. Abraham Osorno Larios, general manager of the television channel Enlace Nicaragua (channel 21)—part of the international Enlace Trinity Broadcasting Network—and a camera crew covered the event.
