I remember back in 1996 when they had the Atlanta Olympics, the route came through here in Philly (including doing a "Rocky run" up the steps of the Art Museum. But since they got here late at night, they actually booked a hotel room for it to stay in overnight, and then left early the next morning.

From what I understand, there is some special lantern that they transfer the flame to when not running with it on a torch.
