The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay (OTR) will last 106 days and will travel for 45,000 kilometres across Canada, passing within one hour’s drive of 90 per cent of the Canadian population. The Olympic flame will be transported by 12,000 torchbearers and will use approximately 100 different modes of transport during its journey.
