TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo 2020 organisers on Saturday unveiled the uniforms to be worn by 10,000 volunteer runners during the torch relay and presented further details about the route the relay will take. "The relay will go through areas of Japan that are working hard to recover from natural disasters." The torch will also visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and pass Mount Fuji before arriving at the National Stadium in Tokyo on July 24 during the Olympics opening ceremony. The runners' uniform, designed by fashion designer Daisuke Obana, was unveiled by multiple Olympic gold medallist judoka Tadahiro Nomura. Coca Cola collected plastic bottles in their company and recycled them to use them in the uniform material," Nomura said.
