You don\u2019t have to be sporty to do any of the events, each session will be adaptable to your ability level.

So, this summer, join us for an Olympic-sized celebration!<\/p>\n<p>Our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/olympics\">Olympics webpage<\/a><\/strong> contains all the event information you\u2019ll need, including how to sign up and what you\u2019ll need for each event. Remember, all our Olympic events are completely free to join, however, you may need a Kent Sport Pay to Play membership (which is also free) to book some events.<\/p>\n<h3>Olympics events<\/h3>\n<p>You are now able to book free Initial Fitness Consultations (IFCs) with our qualified team.
