Note that the map does not show the official Olympic Torch Relay Route and that the generated locations within the cities, towns and villages where the torch will be carried through are approximate. Locations the Olympic Torch is passing through are indicated in purple. For more information on the Torch Relay and the evening celebrations use the 'London 2012' web link above.
All fields are compulsory, any marked with an asterisk (*) are filled automatically and cannot be changed by overtyping, these 'automatic' values will be taken from the map you generate above.
Click the 'Submit' button to send your data to the Royal Statistical Society Centre for Statistical Education (RSSCSE) database. Your home postcode is only needed to find the route and straight line distances from your start point to one of the locations the Olympic Torch will be carried through. The submitted data will be kept securely on the RSSCSE servers and used to create teaching resources. Any data requested by schools or colleges will have the postcodes and addresses (i.e. your home or school location) removed. The map feature of this resource is powered by the Google Maps API
