The Flame in a nutshell

The figures
The Flame travelled for a total of about 8,200 km overland (more than half of it in the four non-European countries) and 1,200 nautical miles on sea. It called on 97 cities, towns and localities in nine countries (plus Monaco). It involved an estimated 5,500 runners/bike riders (plus a few hundreds on camels, donkey carts etc.). It required the efforts of about 4,000 organisers. It was watched along the route and at the ceremonies, and visited at the Jamboree, by an estimated 1.2 million people. www.spirit-flame.com
