2012 Unveils Paralympic Training Venues

LOCOG, the organising committee for London 2012, has launched a pre-Games training camp guide for the Paralympics.

The Pre-Games Training Camp Guide contains 175 sporting venues and facilities throughout the UK which meet the standards required to host Paralympic teams and athletes in the run up to the London Games in 2012.

Published online, the Guide outlines different venues from all over the country which are suitable training bases for each of the 20 Paralympic sports in 2012 as teams prepare for the Games.

Developed by the London 2012 Organising Committee and VisitBritain, the website showcases the quality and variety of sport facilities in the UK capable of hosting elite Paralympic athletes.

National Paralympic Committees choosing to base their athletes at one of these training camps are eligible to receive a financial award of up to £25,000 from LOCOG to assist with costs relating to Pre Games Training Camps.
