The 2002 torch relay was also the 50th anniversary of the Winter Olympic torch relay, which was first run during the 1952 Winter Olympics.No Torch Relay in Ancient Times Carole Mikita KSL-TV 17 November 2001 http://2002.ksl.com/news-3053i.php 26 October 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20110927132108/http://2002.ksl.com/news-3053i.php 27 September 2011 dead dmy-all Planning Preparations for the torch relay began in March 1999, when the Salt Lake Organizing Committee (SLOC) issued a Request for Proposals from contractors to plan the relay route, including security and marketing plans. In May, the contract was awarded to Além International Management, Inc., a logistics consulting firm which had previously organized the Olympic torch relays in 1996 and 1998, and was then planning the relay for 2000. Planning of the relay itself began in June, with organizers announcing that the scope of the event would be determined by sponsorships, as all organizing costs would be paid by the relay's sponsors as opposed to state and national governments."Torch Relay Planning Underway" (PDF download), Olympic News, Summer 1999, page 4.Gorrell, Mike. "Colorado Company Is Chosen To Set Up Torch Trek to Utah", Salt Lake Tribune, May 28, 1999, page C6. In February 2000, The Coca-Cola Company and Chevrolet signed an agreement with SLOC to become the official relay sponsors, agreeing to pay two-thirds of the $25 million relay cost.Official Report of the XIX Olympic Winter Games Salt Lake Organizing Committee 2002 0-9717961-0-6 245 http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2002/2002v1.pdf 25 October 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101105050321/http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2002/2002v1.pdf 5 November 2010 liveGorrell, Mike. "Sponsorship Will Fire Up Torch Relay", Salt Lake Tribune, February 8, 2000, pages C-1 and C-6. The remainder of the cost would be paid for by official relay providers, such as Delta Air Lines, who flew the flame from Greece to the United States,Roche, Lisa Riley. "Delta to help carry torch to 2002 Olympic Games", Deseret News, June 10, 2000, Web. and Union Pacific, whose trains transported the flame through parts of the United States. The route produced by SLOC and Além was announced to the public on December 4, 2000. It would have the torch cover 13500 mi km, passing through 46 of the 50 U.S. states, and be carried by 12,012 torchbearers. The torch would pass through 300 communities, stopping twice a day: once for a midday celebration and then in a larger populated city for the night. 120 of the 300 communities would host the special celebrations, which would allow large groups of people to participate in the Olympic spirit. It also allowed each community to show off local talent, its people, and history. Atlanta, New York City, and Salt Lake City were all selected as special signature cities, and they would host large relay celebrations which would be paid for, planned, and controlled by SLOC. Later plans for special commemorations of September 11, 2001, along the relay route in Washington, D.C., and New York City, would be added to the route plan. The torch and all relay marketing would be designed to closely follow the 2002 Olympic theme Light the Fire Within and the look of the games theme Land of Contrast - Fire and Ice. In February 2001, the nomination process for torchbearers was begun. SLOC had decided on a theme of Inspire for the Torchbearers, and people were encouraged to nominate those who inspire others. Of the 12,012 torchbearer positions, SLOC, Coca-Cola, and Chevrolet each got to select one-third of the nominees, while a few were reserved for providers and special guests at the Opening Ceremony. SLOC received approximately 50,000 nominations for its 3,500 positions, so applications were separated by ZIP code then sent to a local community judging panel who scored the applications and selected the torchbearers for their area. Coca-Cola and Chevrolet both received more than 120,000 applications for their positions, and both used a random selection process to choose torchbearers.Official Report of the XIX Olympic Winter Games Salt Lake Organizing Committee 2002 0-9717961-0-6 247 http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2002/2002v1.pdf 25 October 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101105050321/http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2002/2002v1.pdf 5 November 2010 live SLOC president Mitt Romney was scheduled to release the names of the selected torchbearers in a press conference at New York City's Battery Park on September 12, 2001. The press conference had initially been set for the morning of September 11, but it was postponed by one day to allow Romney to lobby Congress for additional Olympics security funding."Delay keeps SLOC from harm", Deseret News, September 12, 2001, Web.

The top section was glass, and the Olympic flame burned within the glass, echoing the 2002 Olympic theme Light the Fire Within. The glass stood for purity, winter, ice, and nature. Also inside the glass was a geometric copper structure which helped hold the flame. Copper is a very important natural element of Utah, and represented fire, warmth, Utah's History, and mirrored the orange/red colors of the theme Fire and Ice. The center section was made of silver and finished to look old and worn, while the bottom section was made of clean, highly polished silver. The center section represented the silver mining heritage of the American West, while the bottom section represented the future and modern technology. The Torchbearer gripped the torch at the junction of both the aged and polished silver, during which their hand represented a bridge from the past to the present. The two silver sections also mirrored the blue/purple colors of the Fire and Ice theme.

In anticipation of the torch relay Overland Models (model railroading) created an H0 scale model of the Olympic Train, which included the two locomotives and several of the passenger cars. The Heber Valley Historic Railroad also played a role in the torch relay. Its historic steam locomotives were joined by another from the Nevada Northern Railway Museum, and together they were known as the Olympic Steam Team. During the games all three locomotives would pull their own eight-car train loaded with spectators to the Soldier Hollow Olympic venue.Official Spectator Guide Salt Lake Organizing Committee 2001 211 The day prior to the Opening Ceremony of the games, all three locomotives were combined into one triple-headed train, and used to transport the Olympic flame from Soldier Hollow to Heber City, Utah, as part of the torch relay.http://history.nevadanorthernrailway.net/olympics/olympics.htm Salt Lake City 2002 XIX Olympic Winter Games Steam Team Keith Albrandt 2002 Nevada Northern & Railroads of White Pine County website 7 January 2011 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110420160239/http://history.nevadanorthernrailway.net/olympics/olympics.htm 20 April 2011 Route thumb|500px|right|Route of the 2002 Winter Olympics torch relay through the United States.

Some elements of the torch relay route were altered or canceled in the wake of the September 11 attacks. Special commemorations were held when the torch passed through Washington, D.C. and New York City, and several survivors, family members of victims, and first responders were given the opportunity to carry the torch. Additionally, the torch was planned to be carried by seaplane from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but this was canceled at the last minute because the seaplane operator was concerned about terrorism.
