2010 Olympic Torch Relay > About the Olympic Torch Relay > Torch Relay Route
In October 2009, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay will commence in ancient Olympia, Greece - the birthplace of the Olympic Games, followed by a handover ceremony in Athens. The Olympic Flame will then be brought to Canada and over 100 days it will make its way across 45,000 kilometres, through over 1,000 communities, engaging as many Canadians as possible to share in this remarkable experience.
The Olympic Flame will be at the heart of local community celebrations at each leg of the relay. Don't miss your chance to be part of the Olympic Spirit by cheering on the torchbearers with your family, friends and neighbours!
