The 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay was run from March 24 until August 8, 2008, prior to the 2008 Summer Olympics, with the theme of "one world, one dream". Plans for the relay were announced on April 26, 2007, in Beijing, China. The relay, also called by the organizers as the "Journey of Harmony", lasted 129 days and carried the torch 137,000 km (85,000 mi) – the longest distance of any Olympic torch relay since the tradition was started ahead of the 1936 Summer Olympics. 

After being lit at the birthplace of the Olympic Games in Olympia, Greece on March 24, the torch traveled to the Panathinaiko Stadium in Athens, and then to Beijing, arriving on March 31. From Beijing, the torch was following a route passing through six continents. The torch has visited cities along the Silk Road, symbolizing ancient links between China and the rest of the world. The relay also included an ascent with the flame to the top of Mount Everest on the border of Nepal and Tibet, China from the Chinese side, which was closed specially for the event.

Planer på stafetten meddelades 26 april 2007, i Peking, Kina. Stafetten, även kallad av arrangörerna som "Journey of Harmony", varade i 129 dagar och bar facklan 137 000 km (85 000 mi) – den längsta sträckan av någon olympisk fackelstafett sedan traditionen startades inför sommar-OS 1936. Efter att ha tänts vid de olympiska spelens födelseplats i Olympia i Grekland den 24 mars reste facklan till Panathinaikostadion i Aten, och sedan till Peking, som anlände den 31 mars. Från Peking följde facklan en väg som gick genom sex kontinenter. Facklan har besökt städer längs Sidenvägen, vilket symboliserar antika förbindelser mellan Kina och resten av världen. I reläet ingick även en bestigning med lågan till toppen av Mount Everest på gränsen till Nepal och Tibet, Kina från den kinesiska sidan, som stängdes speciellt för händelsen. 1.
