British KiteSurfing Championships - Bring Cali to Kent Now maybe you already knew that we were hosting The 149th Open this year , but we bet you didn ’ t know that we ’ ll be hosting the British Kitesurfing Championships too ! Taking place between 21st and 22nd August in Ramsgate , this two day event will include kitesurfing , windsurfing and foiling , and we have a feeling that seeing these incredible athletes will leave us wanting to get out on the waves ourselves ! We ’ ll be looking to Active Ramsgate for lessons , and who knows ? Maybe we ’ ll be competing on the waves next year ...
Tokyo Olympics - Going for gold Tokyo will stage the opening ceremony of the 32nd Olympic Games in July and that ’ s when the sports fever really kicks in . Get into the aquatic events and discover your inner Rebbeca Adlington with the Mercure Maidstone Great Danes pool - or maybe go more ‘ Total Wipeout ’ at Bewl Water ’ s Aqua Park . We do find ourselves getting invested in the more unusual sports too - which is why we ’ ll be attempting some archery lessons at Hever Castle to get us ready to see those five rings again !
Running - Run , Forrest , Run … We ’ ve been saying we ’ ll pick up running since Mo Farah and the Super Saturday of 2012 , but now we ’ ve had a year without watching the marathon and Olympic athletics , we ’ re ready to get that runner ’ s high ourselves . Look to your local 5k , 10k or half marathon events coming up this summer and into the autumn , or lace up your shoes and head straight out to one of Kent ’ s stunning running routes , including Maidstone ’ s Mote Park , Dunorlan Park situated in picture-perfect Tunbridge Wells , or Sittingbourne ’ s newest green space Milton Creek Country Park .
