Beijing Olympic Torch

The Torch Relay begins a few months before the Olympics begin and is a way to promote the Olympics in destinations worldwide to garner participation, awareness, excitement and promote this year’s Relay theme, “the Journey of Harmony.”

The Relay lasts 130 days and the torch is carried on a 137,000 km route through destinations all over the world and throughout many of China’s cities and regions. The Torch was passed from Olympia in Greece to Beijing on March 31st, 2008 to relay throughout the world to finish again in Beijing on August 6-9th, 2008 when the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing begin with the Torch Lighting Ceremony.
