The 1994 Winter Olympics torch relay was run from November 27, 1993 until February 12, 1994 prior to the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. The route covered around 18,000 kilometres (11,000 mi) and involved over 6,916 torchbearers. Prince Haakon lit the cauldron at the opening ceremony.[1] It is the sixth Winter torch relay (after 1972, 1976, 1980 and 1984) to have more than one route. On January 16, 1994, it traveled to the Arctic Circle.
