Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay: What You Need to Know

By Visit Indiana on June 22, 2016
Back

Speakers will include the Lieutenant Governor Eric Holcomb and Mark Newman, the Executive Director for the Indiana Office of Tourism Development.

The official list of torchbearers will be released to the public on June 29. People from every county, age and walk of life will be represented for this historic occasion. The torchbearers were nominated by local community members, and selected by each county individually.

The torchbearers will not only be walking or running with the torch, but also using unique methods of transportation, such as a race car, boat, and train. Both the method of the relay and the route itself will show off Indiana’s great history and heritage. The route travels through 260 cities and towns, 17 state and national parks, nine lakes and rivers, 27 sites of historic significance, 22 colleges and universities and dozens of important Hoosier landmarks and destinations.
