Among them will be 10 teenagers from across the US, Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan, Olympic swimmer Summer Sanders and renowned fitness icon Jake Steinfeld of Body by Jake.
Each of the 22 torchbearers has shown creativity in helping make a difference around the world. Some of their accomplishments include:
The Olympians and teens will be joined by thought leaders from six national health organisations who have made strides in the fields of health and science.
They will also run with three Coca-Cola North America employees who have committed themselves to giving back to their local communities.
The torchbearers chosen to represent Coca-Cola were nominated by peers, teachers and leaders of youth organisations.
The torchbearers will carry the Flame in and around Oxford (UK) 9-11 July, as it makes its way to the Opening Ceremony on 27 July.
