A venue for regional, national
and international competitions

Medway Park is developing a strong reputation as a quality venue for international, national and regional competitions.

The Modern Pentathlon World Cup in April 2010 was the first global sporting event to ever be hosted in Medway. Thousands of spectators enjoyed four days of competition as the world’s leading multi-sport athletes, including world and Olympic champions, did battle in the five events of fencing, swimming, horse riding, running and shooting.

Medway’s commitment to the promoting and staging the event, coupled with our wider legacy development of the sport, secured Medway the award for the Best Promoted Event of the Year, presented by the sport’s governing body the UIPM.

Such was the success of the event that Medway Park was chosen to host the 2011 Modern Pentathlon European Championships, an official Olympic qualification event.

The venue has also hosted a youth international basketball international test series, and is home to the national league basketball team, Medway Park Crusaders.

Other events confirmed for 2011 and 2012 include a GB Wheelchair Rugby national finals weekend, a national basketball finals weekend and the British Transplant Games in 2012.

’Congratulations to the whole Medway team for the fantastic staging and delivery of the Medway World Cup. I have been to many World Cups over the past 20 years, but none better.’ Dominic Mahony, Pentathlon GB Team Leader
