torch relay
Olympic flame procession
A torch relay is the ceremonial carrying of a flame by a succession of runners, each passing it to the next along a designated route.
The term is most associated with the Olympic Games, where runners carry the Olympic flame from Greece to the host city before the opening ceremony: She was honored to participate in the torch relay through her hometown.
